Bear Lake

By Peggy Buxton

Maybe Ellen had not wanted to lose all of the arm, but it did not stop her from wondering how it would have been to lose a leg instead. Falling hard while snow skiing shattered the right arm badly enough it never healed. That was about a year ago, and now she had adapted to a new way of doing things. The bartender helped her find a whole new life on Big Bear Lake and she was thankful for that.

Peggy Buxton

Author, wife, lover, and amputee. I have been missing my left leg for years. Growing up I felt that it should not be there, and it is has been a blessing to have it gone. Today's term for this condition is BIID and in the past simply referred to as being a 'wannabe'. I am a full-time crutch user. Like my husband, I find amputees fascinating. 'Devotee' is the frequently used term. My stories have characters that mirror my life in some manner - wanted/needed to be an amputee or want to live with an amputee. I make no apology for my descriptions of these people and there is no intent to take away from the suffering of some amputees. I love feedback on the stories, but I cannot promise to reply.
