So can you tell me how to hold a can of beer without crushing it? I seem to be having that problem with just 4 bands.

[theguywiththehook]

Hold it right near the top of the can, not in the middle. It won't crush.

Sean, now how would you know that? I thought your hook only invited the bottled brew. BobO

Sean,

In your series of videos, might you consider doing on showing how you write with the prosthesis and maybe one on how to type with one hand?

[supermanakasean]

cool dude. were you originally left handed or did you have to learn to write and stuff with your left hand?

[theguywiththehook]

Yes, I was right hand dominant. Now I can write with the left hand or the right hook.

=O you can write with your hook?? How long have you head your prosthetic arm?It seems like you have had it for quite a while.I am amazed at what you can do man

[theguywiththehook]

It has been 5 years. Writing with it was easy to figure out.

I am absolutely amazed with your cheerful outlook. You are a natural for the camera, and should consider a career in front of it. I am going to college to become a special education teacher, and whenever I see an individual who has overcome a struggle, I am reminded that people can do whatever they believe they can do - and this is the type of educator I am going to be. I will not allow a special education student to believe that they are not capable of achieving success. God speed.

Thanks for your kind words.
