Just curious... How do the wonderful authorities take your fingerprints, now? Don't they want at least 10 -- maybe they can take some fingerprints borrowed from your neighbour.
@hjones1 - I have had finger print cards done for federal security clearance, and CAC Cards. they just place an X in the box's with the missing fingers, and in the comments section state amputation.
Watching you do that with you're condition gets my attention! You do it so easily! I have no amputations but I don't have near the hand function you do! To shuffle cards takes me 3 minutes. I can't transfer half the deck off the other hand! I have to place and pick. nervous system can't capture the current joint position in real time so I have to watch and go slow enough to control objects. Hands can't flex very well either. I'll post a video so you can see.
It was the first time I tried cards, but I worked very very hard to be able to do as much as possible with what I have to work with. I cannot do everything, and I have far more limitations than I like to admit, but I do pretty good. If I worked at the cards a while I'm sure I could do a better job of it now. and the funny thing is the amputations happened on July 7th (see video date)
I have yet to figure out how to shuffle cards with my feet... ;)
actually I do have one of more videos that show my foot... not very impressive.
I have a lot of problems with my foot (stumps, skin graft, fractures, damaged heel) I would have much rather had a SYMES amputation (amputation through the ankle) then all the problems I have with my foot
Perhaps it is just a video clarity issue but it appears as you have additional shortening of the 4th and 5th toes on your right foot. Have you additional loss from the previous 4 amputated toes lenghts ?

Have you considered posting a video of your feet?

The toe amputation length has never changed. Only the two fingers have had revisions so far.

one of these days I'll have to see if a Doc can do a revision on the toe stumps
