My grandfather lost his arm in a very similar accident involving a corn picker aswell. It has been around 55 years since the accident. It was his left arm and it got cut off at the elbow. He says there is only 2 things he cant do, push a wheel barrow, and skin a raccoon properly. Have u ever seen a man with one arm carry 3 square bales of hay? Its interesting to watch. He throws 2 up on his stub then grabs the 3rd one in his right hand and away he goes. I watched him do this a couple days ago. Pretty good for a man that turned 70 this past august. I had an accident at work last feb. and lost the use of my right hand for a few months, and if it wasnt for watching my grandpa do everything with one hand all my life, it would have made things alot harder. If u guys ever want a good challenge, put about 4 oven mits on one hand and tape the crap out of them and wear that all day. You would be surprised how much we take having 2 hands for granted. Steve
