[QUOTE="dannyboy, post: 564489, member: 484"] The pain was not all that bad (except the girls a physical therapy pulling the scabs off the wounds each week), the nerves were cut. But the flip side of that is that I had no clue if the fingers were in danger IE getting slammed in a car door, caught on a door handle (had that happen to me going into McDonald's), or just getting way too cold. The hardest part was going from a very independent person that can do it all himself, to instantly relying on others. Simple stuff like pulling up socks, writing (got pretty good with my left hand) or even feeding yourself. You really dont realize how much you use the dominant hand more than the other. But most of that is in the past. Getting feeling throughout most of the fingers, index is the slowest. Biggest problem is that of the thumb, I cant grasp large objects with it anymore (large drinking cup for instance), cause the cut through the joint had to be allowed to fuse. But its all good, getting better at typing again, so practice helps. d [/QUOTE]
