Hypothetical question

What if....

What if you had a stroke and lost the use of your limbs? What if you lay in hospital unable to move for months, with only the worst of daytime television for company? What if you contracted gangrene from an unsterilised toothpick that you used to pick the gunk beneath your nails and as a result both your hands had to be amputated at the wrist? What if, after a long time, you began the slow, hard rehabilitation process towards regaining your movement and had to start learning everything all over again? What if you had to learn to write with your stumps, holding the pen unevenly and trying desperately to draw the letters of your name?

What if you managed it and it was more legible than the handwritten amendments I received from my fee earner this morning?
