The $43,500 is from my life insurance, part of an accidental dismemberment policy, so it's not like they're buying my hand, it's just not covered under insurance unless it's removed, even though I don't have use of it.

And doctors said I wouldn't be able to use a prosthetic because of the extensive nerve damage. I soooo wish I could have a luke skywalker hand.... I'm also leaning towards keeping the hand now because, call it corny if you want, but if I ever get married someday, I'd at least like to have the proper finger to put my ring on. I guess I could always wear it on my right hand...

And SV, carlsbad is like 20-30 min from my house I think. Not too far. And yes fucker, you still owe me dinner. <3

Sue the life insurance company for not giving you the $43k for a non-working hand. <.<

Also, good man! Keep that hand!

Well in that case, I'd keep it. The ring thing is important to some people. I can understand that.

And yeah yeah yeah. I know. We're planning on coming into San Diego anyway, for at least a day if not two. So we'll figure something out. You still have the same phone number?

If you do get it taken off, can you get it stuffed and put on your mantle, if not then fuck them! /lolhumor!

The only way I'd consider having it removed is if it could be transplanted and improve someone elses quality-of-life. Otherwise, I don't think I could do it. I recently saw a show where this dude had a chip put into his brain and had wires hooked up to his hand. Same situation where he was paralyzed, except with this new technology he was able to move his hand with his thoughts. Crazy stuff man, but makes you optimistic about the future.

I gotta give you much respect bro. You've held together pretty well considering what you've been through and it's inspiring. I'm not sure I could say the same about myself were it me. :unsure:

I don't think I could really make an honest judgement unless it were actually me in the situation. Do whatever you think you should do.

edit: Don't let anyone pressure you into doing anything. Take your time and make the decision that you want for yourself.
