When you hear stories of individuals that have had multiple surgeries following an accident or to correct a congenital defect, etc. I consider myself blessed to have only had one major surgery.
Many years ago I severed two nerves and a tendon in my right arm and it required “tying” the ends of the nerves and tendon for the repair.
As a result, I have no feeling in my right hand and limited arm strength; but considering I did not lose hand function, I do not complain. (And I can tell you when the weather is going to change!)
