Reply With QuoteI hate that for you Yaker. But I get the feeling that you can do more with 50% of your hand than 50% of people can do with 100% of their hand. Best of luck to you pulling them crappie in.

Update.
Went to see the hand surgeon for a 9 month checkup,After several strength and dexterity test,he gave me a thumbs down on any further recovery.The conclusion is,I have gained no more use of the hand than pre surgery,but the deterioration of the muscle tissue has stopped.
The period between injury and surgery had destroyed enough nerves that the hand will not recover,to sum it up,the doc estimated 50% use of the hand.Let me say one more time,DO NOT HOLD WHATEVER YOU ARE DRILLING IN ONE HAND WHILE DRILLING WITH THE OTHER!

I too hate to hear this diagnosis. Adapting to the circumstances is the difference between the strong and weak. You definitely sound like the strong type. Keep doing what you’re doing.

Sad news but keep your head up. The key word is adapt. I have learned that from adapting to having only 25% usage of my heart. Yes it sucks but knowing your limits allows you to still pursue the things you enjoy. You just do it differently

Sorry to hear about your prognosis. And Thank you for your sage advice! Can't tell you how many close calls I've in my life, but some things I got away with was down right luck.

If you were on trial for being a Christian would there be enough evidence to convict you??

Sorry to hear that, but don't give up. A friend of mine had a car wreak and broke his back and the doctors told him he would never walk again. He told them BS. A year later he walked back into the doctor's office and told him " I told you so."
