A Portrait a Day on January 17

Mike’s left hand and forearm were cut off as he tried to unblock the mechanism on a snow-blower on a tractor. Amazingly and miraculously, doctors in Montreal have reconstructed his arm and replanted his hand back which included the replacement of his lost thumb by the index. For months Mike did heavy physiotherapy and today he is using the brand new high-tech rehabilitation system called HandTutor. Mike is very grateful that he was given a chance to regain in large part the use of my left hand and arm. An unbelievable story.
