Deena Kastor and some inspiration from a voluntary amputee

As you may or may not know, Deena Kastor broke her foot while running the Olympic Marathon in Beijing. Here's the care she has received:

rest
BONE-UP calcium supplement
magnets
acupuncture
a spiritual bone healer
physical therapy on my muscles to negate atrophy
bone marrow soup
a DEXA-scan to benchmark my bone density
ice baths
and visualization

Tom White's left leg was so badly injured in an accident that after several years of worsening pain he voluntarily had it amputated in late-2007. He ran the 2008 NYC Marathon in 4 hours and 40 minutes. Incredible.
