Default What is a polite way to say 'amputee'

The sentence I'm trying to write is:


'I began to fantasize about a world where all prosthetics carry my logo, and smiling amputees know my name around the world'.

But that doesn't sound right.

It's not just the use of the word amputees thats fucked up in that sentence :rofl:

Amputee is the correct term though.

I always referred to my father as "Stumpy" once he got both his legs lopped off.






Never to his face though.

I would not use the word fantasize with the word amputees either.

Envision maybe? Still messed up... but I at least know where you are going with this :chuckles:
