I have had a bunch of injuries in my past, but I was never in a position at the time to read assurances online from other folks that it wasn't so bad as I might have been thinking. When I chopped off my right thumb & index finger, I really don't think I would have drawn any assurance whatsoever from 10,000 fellows telling me it wasn't too bad.
I was pretty down at the time.
In retrospect, the sorrow over the loss of something very important to you (part of your body) overrides reason, and you aren't too happy about it. Later on, you learn to accommodate the change in your life.
I guess that trying to help another guy when he is down can't hurt, so KEEP LOOKING FOR THE BRIGHT SIDE. You won't probably be working as hard now, and new opportunities will be opening up that you would have overlooked.
