The protagonist not only has to deal with the physical aspect of losing his leg, but also the mental aspect. There's no denying that most people take for granted their limbs so for one to suddenly be removed would leave a sense of emptiness, of being incomplete, and that's something that resonates through Michael's thoughts.
