Memory of a limb

The perception of sensations, usually including pain, in an arm or leg after the limb has been amputated. The brain still gets messages from the nerves that originally carried impulses from the missing limb. Phantom limb syndrome is relatively common in amputees, especially in the early months and years after limb loss.

Finally when things are going so well and my adjustment seems to be going well it hits. The amputated limb awakens to stir the impulses. The Nerves have been severed and still it tingles.

How long before there is no pain? The pruning has turned into more pain, my limbs are bare and desolate with few leaves. The water I receive is enough to keep me alive but I am still a butchered ugly tree that not even Charlie Brown will love.

When will new limbs grow?
