your hand must have been almost totally crushed, burned or blown to pieces in order to have to have all that done. I have also heard of some infections that attack nervous system that could cause your experience.

You don’t need to tell me what happened. It just helps me to relate more to you writing out my thoughts.

In therapy, I saw a carpenter, a logger, several burn & hunting accident victims, and even those with arthritis who had joint replacements.

A co-worker of mine had the nerves for his whole right arm ripped off his spinal column while he held on the motorcycle break during collision. He has never been able to feel the entire arm since. That guy has like 5 kids and is a writer for a living.

Causing pain to your self to gain the ability to zip your fly or hold a pencil, as you are well aware, was the daily grind.

Are you able to use your dominant hand?

The mental trauma for kids is lower compare to adults from what I have been told. I can’t begin to relate with dealing with that at the age of 20.

I sure grew up fast, adults complimented me all the time on how well mannered I was. For those two years I had no one my age to play with… just adults really.

7 1/3 digits are enough for me to do SEO and make a good living.

I take it your in the computer realm as well?
