I got some new fingers!

Well, it's been 20 years since I had my sawmill accident. And pretty much for each of those years since, I've wanted and waited for something to come along that could help me replace some of the function of having actual fingers again.

I'm happy to say that the time has come! Forewarning, I get a liiittle emotional at the end of this video, but those are some seriously happy tears because I'm so happy to have these new digits in my life.


Big thanks to my prosthetist for introducing this product to me, to Naked Prosthetics for coming up with such a device, and thanks to WorksafeBC for seeing the value in something like this, and helping to fund it. 

Now if you'll excuse me, I'll be wandering around trying new things with my new hand. I'll be opening round doorknobs if you need me :)
