brachiotomy
Brachiotomy: the amputation of an arm. *** As an ex-nurse, I have strong recollections of a patient who sustained a traumatic Brachiotomy in a traffic accident. Bethany Hamilton is a great inspiration to me — as post shark attack — she is living life to the full, one arm down. I am frequently triggered by the sight of vehicle drivers casually driving around with their arm draped outside their window… begging to have it removed!

A Barbigerous Bastard. Content Warning.
barbigerous: bearded; bearing a beard My Connection: I worked for a decade in an environment where I wasn't allowed to have facial hair, because of the need to wear breathing apparatus when toxic gas was released. Traditionally, the men who left that environment grew beards in celebration. That's how mine originated. Today, I wear it for a very different reason.
