Progress!

Howdy doody friends!

It's time for a Hanna update.

This is Hanna driving to OT today...Look out Virginia Beach!

 

OT is going well. Traci has me working on strengthening my right shoulder as it has been sore from using Hanna.  More weight = sore.

 

 

Touch Bionics is going to send someone down in a few weeks to train Traci (and whoever else wants to come) and they will also work with me too for a couple hours.  The challenge for them (and me) is that I have spent my entire life adapting to my "little hand" so I am having to re-learn how to do everything. I've had a lot of people ask me, "So why did you get a prosthetic device if you were already functional?"

 

Well...doctor's aren't really sure how my hand will function as I get older.  I can already tell that I have lost functionality over the years...and I can imagine it will only get worse. So I thought...why don't I start learning how to use a prosthetic now instead of waiting until I HAVE to learn?

 

 

So I stopped at Starbucks on the way back to work today.  Look what Hanna can do!



 

 

 

Happy Friday everyone!!!!!!
