I see that you were a commo man (31 series MOS). Even if you were able to convince some surgeon somewhere to do the surgery in an effort to get a below the knee prothesis affixed, you would not be able to hump the ruck of an AD commo soldier in the Special Forces.
BUT, this is an excellent opportunity for you to put together two fields you obviously relish: the Army, and Signal Communications.
My recommendation, in the "for what it's worth department" is that you get a degree in electronics, and seek a position in research and development of lightweight, frequency agile, secure analog and digital communications, integrated with GPS/LORAN etc. You can speak with authority about what a soldier needs, and have the experience to back up your positions. Take advantage of your GI Bill and use more brainpower, age alone will sap your physical abilities after an eight year time out even without severe injury. Move into an signal slot in the RC, if you are really good at it, and seek a CO or WO position when you get your degree.
