About prosthetic devices, any observations?
The key is finding your own way. Speaking personally I never liked using a prosthesis. Remember though, this was a long time ago and I think they have made great strides in helping people with limited mobility and function. When I was younger the prosthesis’ that were available were cumbersome and attracted attention. I honestly found it easier to do things without the aid of one. I also felt much less different than everyone else when I didn’t use it. If my child were in the same position I would encourage her to reach as far as possible without the help of a prosthesis, but I would try to keep an open mind.
