Oh...How is it to have only 1 finger at left hand? Are you used to it so you can live a normal life?

[BurnScarred]

mostly used to it.. depends on what I need to do.

I have other issues with the hand, so the amputations are just part of the problem

That sucks dude. I lost my whole left hand about 2 years ago, messing with explosives, it would kick ass if i had what you got. o well i got used to it. just don't let it get you down. Ill try and make a video response of me playing playstation or xbox. its pretty amazing.

Blimey.... That`s really nasty. I hope it improves for you in some way...

as far a gloves.. gloves are a real pain! in may case they don't fit at all and make the hand totally useless, and when working around machines, it's hazardous, so I modify all my gloves by sewing them so they fit better. otherwise they get in the way

[BurnScarred]

not as much as before. farther back on the fingers you have less nerve endings,l so you have less feeling. the actual ends, are basically the tops of the fingers stretched over the ends and sewn to the bottom, so I have even less feeling, plus due to the injury I have nerve damage (it was a mess). so... while I so have feeling, it's not much at all, and in some places it's none at all. it all makes it harder to get used to

Have you got much feeling in the tips? I expect that makes all the difference...

I used to work in factory and I kept finding gloves with knots tied in the fingers, turned out it was workers that had lost fingers in the machinery ! Eeek!
