Edited on Sun Nov-25-07 06:33 PM by sam sarrha
had a hand reattachment that has gone bad, i was not offered any alternatives, they just knocked me out and did a horrifically expensive reattachment i would never have agreed to and i suffered a heart attack during the 5 hour surgery and now i have lost much of the vitality in my life,

now i have a totally useless, problematic and very painful hand. it is totally numb and paralyzed except for the pain. i am considering suing and swapping the dead hand for a prosthetic hook. i cant get my job back with a useless hand, but there are people there with prosthetics

if you know of anyone have em 'pm' me

thanks

1. I don't know anyone
but I'm so sorry for what you are going through. I once worked with a young gal who was a Thalidomide baby. Both her hands were missing from the wrist down. She was amazing with buttoning, shoe tying, and feeding herself. Isn't a drag that your hand is numb, except for the pain sensations, what a dirty trick. I've worked with stroke patients that kinda have the same thing, no useful movement but a lot of discomfort. Best of luck with finding a solution.
