My cousin almost lost a leg after being shot in a stop-light mugging (he tried to drive away) couple years ago. It was iffy in the hospital whether they could get blood flow back or would have to amputate. But eventually he made an almost full recovery, he even plays sports again.

I hope you recover fully.
