obstacle. Is there any way to post JPEGs to this forum?

I am sorry to hear that you are pestered by people who are too dim witted or scared to post their doubts in the open forum. You don't have anything to
prove. Obviously it is up to you if you decide to post pictures, which are no doubt very personal and possibly distressing to you, but only do it if
it is doing something for you, not for some troll that can't see the immense value in the story that you have already shared and the extraordinary
bravery that it has no doubt taken to do so.

Yeah, I think I need to share these even though they're not pretty. This is six days after the accident. At this point in my recovery, surgeons have
sutured my right thumb into my abdomen in order to grow tissue onto the denuded bone. Fifteen surgeries and almost fourteen years later, it actually
looks and functions something like an opposable thumb. Note the shrapnel injuries to my chest and forearms. I'm still shedding bits of glass to this
day.

Glad to see you chugging along still. The hand healed impressively, very fortunate.

The right hand came out brilliantly compared to the first photo.
I always remember your accident whenever I am handling any "lively" compounds which makes me double check all safety measures.
Be good, otherwise be good at it

I am sorry if people questioned your claims. Not sure why someone would lie about something like that.
I wish you all the best and I hope you continue to stick around.

I have a couple battle buds that have lost some limbs similarly in theatre, some better some worse.
It's clearly not keeping you down man.
Stay resilient!
