It
has been quite a trying day. The morning started off so hot it's almost
suffocating. I had a couple of personal problems seemingly without
solutions. One Blog site where I had hundreds of articles posted had
lost them all simply because I updated it with new e-address!
Just then when I was about the throw in the towel, I saw the news report about Jesse Sullivan of Chicago, an electrician, 62 year old and had lost both his arms. He has been for the last 3 years learning, quite successfully, to use his bionic arms. The process, needless to say, was much more than the operations, fitting him up with the artificial arms.
It's medical and mechanical science, the operations themselves, the rehabilitation that's painfully slow and no doubt very frustrating, the change of life style, the determination, the patience, the will power, the learning and accepting ... Quite a bit of that you can see on You Tube; you only have to tap in Jesse Sullivan. There's the video of 4 years ago, and the one just 6 months before, showing how he was progressing with the life changing situations, literally becoming a different person and leading a totally different life. With optimism. Just look at that wonderful hearty smile of his, and that of the lady in the same condition.
Then I said to myself: What on earth have I got to be upset and complain about?

bionic arms and hands, in the medical congress.
