I am very pleased with the results that I have gotten in such a short period of time
I am 43 years old and was recently the victim of a severe stabbing. My forearm was cut all the way to the bone, severing two of the three major nerves in my arm.

But what could be more important than getting use back of a hand, so we don’t give up. Andrew had a stroke in utero. Doctors said he would never walk. He did! They said he wouldn’t talk. He did!
