Hi Wes,

I don't think this will boost your spirits by more than one S-Unit,
but in today's NYT there was a report of a fellow that chopped off
both hands, and had them sewn back on.

Oh my, that's gotta hurt.

Some years ago my wife had hand surgery and afterwards was getting
physical therapy. Another patient there had lost a thumb to a
circular saw. They made him a new one out of another finger.
