Keep coming back over the next two weeks as I share about opium abuse among Civil War soldiers/veterans and phantom limb pain --both of which your character may experience! (Almost every amputee gets phantom limb pain, so that one for sure!)Jocelyn Greenhttp://www.jocelyngreen.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1365990433045665296.post-66206963906327913432013-04-27T18:59:02.111-06:002013-04-27T18:59:02.111-06:00Hi Tina, I'm so glad you were inspired by Tayl...Hi Tina, I'm so glad you were inspired by Taylor's story.

A secondary character in my post-Civil War WIP is temporarily lame from broken legs, but if I make him an amputee, it could be a major point of conflict and growth when he is hero in book #2. Hmmm. I love to read blogs that get the creative gears turning. :) Thanks for these amazing research facts!Natalie Monkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10197043273258414949noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1365990433045665296.post-45452694515541838242013-04-26T18:35:21.121-06:002013-04-26T18:35:21.121-06:00Wow, what this man has gone through, but he has no...Wow, what this man has gone through, but he has not let it stop him.

So when he came home-and you saw downtown Cedar Falls lined with people in the video-my kids and I were there with our flags cheering for him!

It is very common for veterans to have motorcycle accidents after deployment, some of them with truly devastating consequences. The reasons and statistics on this topic could be another blog post for another day! <br /><br />I'm glad you found Taylor's story inspiring.

Talk about inspiring. My son is in the National Guard and brought a friend home to dinner one day--a woman. We didn't know that she had a prosthetic leg until she told us. I was stunned, and her story amazed us. She lost her leg in a motorcycle accident, right after surviving a year in Iraq.Vickie McDonoughhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09698966142886006577noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1365990433045665296.post-73654775872015368612013-04-26T09:32:49.255-06:002013-04-26T09:32:49.255-06:00I completely agree, Vera.
