Would you mind sharing a little about the story? Body modification is something that really interests me, the reasons why, the cultural acceptance, the history and how it's evolved.

Wow. that sounds absolutely amazing!
The current state of body modification and amputation is moving towards this direction, a few years back a chip called North Sense was made and implanted into a guys chest. It gave him a "sixth sense" and made him a human compass, the body mod groups I'm part of lost their minds over the jump forward the issue most had was that it stuck out of the chest so far it would become more an issue of trying to not catch it on everything day to day. Still it is amazing how far things have come.
The amputation stuff happens way more than most would think. It's very underground and a lot of people won't admit how ok they are with it.
Have you looked into Shannon Larratt's blog or Shawn Porter?

If you would like to know anything more I'm always willing to chat, I have always been drawn towards body modification but limited myself because of what others would think and I hate that I let myself stay that way for so long. I did stretch my lobes to 32mm, had many piercings and my tongue is split.
There are a few things I plan on still getting but being a nurse I'm now limited to things that can be hidden.
The first post you'll see on Shannon's blog is his last one, he had a very rare disease that took his life so that one can be an emotional read. Still very informative.
I recommend checking out the PDF downloads he had "Mod Con" and "Meet Tommy" the first book is about the first mod con they put on and a few interviews from folks who attended, then Meet Tommy is more about the cross over of BDSM and body modification, both are NSFW with graphic images, definitely not for the light hearted.
Shawn Porter still throws up a lot of historical and tribal stuff, his posts are very educational and always a great read.
If you are at all interested in current stuff I can add the artist's who are pushing things forward now and direct you to their IG.

Umm... This is relevant to my interests? I'll see what the Ortho doc says about keeping my leftovers; human bone has a long history as an art medium. It would greatly amuse me to craft a piece of jewelry or other useful object from my own trochanter, though I'd really like a bionic leg as well.
Lemons, lemonade. 🤷 The human femoral head has some very cool internal structure. With with a little resin, I could turn it into something like fossilized dinosaur bone. The real disappointment is...

The real disappointment is that there's research going on now for cartilage regeneration; chances are if the surgery could wait 10 years, this wouldn't be necessary at all.
[There's a bit of science fiction speculation for you - a faction which does strictly biological body modification, with even more radical results than the amputations, prosthetics, and implants crowd...]

The leg that "looks like the bogwater remains of a diabetic Mr. Goodyear" is, per the photo caption, actually a specimen in the National Museum of Health and Medicine, not the article subject's own amputated leg, which (again, if you read the article) she sent to Skulls Unlimited in order to get it stripped, cleaned, and articulated like a skeleton in anatomy class so she can take pictures with it on Instagram.

No worries at all, always happy to chat more about all this stuff. I'll start making a list of artists pages for you.
I'm in love with that concept and world you've painted just there. How far along the story process are you?
Reminds me of this Reddit AMA of a guy who took his amputated foot home and made tacos out of it.
