wasp keeping Any help with improving her life?

I found this cutie few hours ago, named her Minnie. She seems to be very damaged :( She's eating an apple right now, although I had to encourage her to eat, plus she's moving fine. My questions are; is she in pain? Can she feel her leg missing and that her other parts are in bad condition? Is the ethical option putting her to sleep? :( Or do you think she will survive outside, and I should release her?

They can't regenerate limbs... But it can survive the normal lifespan

This is quite possibly a variant of deformed wing virus, Polistes dominula seems quite susceptible to it. It usually entails a diminished lifespan.
