Might have to custom build your cinderblock crushing hand, now that I think about it. Big Prosthetic doesn't want their customers becoming too powerful. Shouldn't be too hard to rig some hydraulics up though...The following users say it would be alright if the author of this post didn't die in a fire! -

2021-10-01 at 4:30 PM UTCThink of it this way. You can make a new career going to schools and telling kids why they shouldn’t do drugs.
Ask the hospital if you can keep the arm and use it as a prop. -

Here's a pic of my toe to keep your going.
Doc told me it needed amputating...I told him no, save that bitch.
I was right, he was wrong as it healed up fine (well it's a bit fucking misshapen now but it's fine).
Tell them to try and save the arm...DONT just comply with what the doctors advise...If I had I'd only have 9 toes now and my ballet career would be over.

I had a tiny blister, apparently a nasty bacteria got in it and "tunneled" down to the bone, I woke up one morning and my toe was bigger and more purple than my Johnson.
The surgeon foot doc said there was 99% chance I'd lose it and I should cut it off before it spread because then I might then have to have 1/2 my foot removed too.
The other doctor, (I was being seen by 2)...an African doctor who was a tropical disease specialist...advised me to ignore doc #1 and try to save it.
The night before the surgery I told doc #1 "take it off"...the next morning as I was in prep for surgery I told him "Save that sucker".
It took about 18 months to fully heal...the surgeon doc said it was a "miracle" and he was going to write a medical paper about it...so my toe will live on in the halls of medical science long after my death. -

ewww. is this common in the US ?
i lived all my life without ever hearing of flesh eating bacteria until internet came along.
also did you look for the paper your doctor claimed to want to write ? he could be just trying to save face calling it miracle to cover for the lack of competency on his part. -
2021-10-01 at 6:01 PM UTCI lost a knuckle joint on my left middle finger to some nasty bug I got when installing a garbage disposal for my daughter at her last house. I dropped the disposal on the finger but just put a bandage on it and kept working. They tried standard antibiotics with no success until the lab work came back . The doc then wanted to know where the hell I ran into that rare bug.
Jiggly, here's a crooked one-finger-salute to your next comment! -

God I’m hurting so much I can’t even cry anymore
I feel trapped and fucked that I pretty much have no option other than losing my dominant arm
Between the pain and this fact along with years of suicidal ideation welll suicide seem more like the right option however I’m a pussy and obviously have yet to get that right I don’t even know how I’d manage it here in a hospital since I physically cannot leave
Fuck am I scared and in pain
You should get some therapy of talking with someone. a psychologist or mental health expert. you may have to change out the therapist as I have. but don't take your life. nature has a way to deal with pain over time.
is this something you got for shooting drugs into you or do you have a compromised immune system from cancer or hiv or what is happening?
Or do you have a staph infection? I'm not a doctor but killing yourself is the wrong rout. you will get past this experience that might take close to a year before you feel some sense of normalization. if you have it removed you are doing it in an exciting time of prostetic research. You might even help champ a new concept. the brain will rewire your nerve endings and your prostetics will never be a true replacement however it will start to feel apart of you. Just like how people have phantom pain (or itching?) you will have a phantom sense the object is apart of you.
We're living machines. you're replacing a part out with a third party product. look at it that way. its not the original but it might come with some advantages your natural hand was. maybe you can crush stuff with it you couldnt with your normal hand. like cans into recycling or shit.. attach a drill to it. they have these on and off switchs your brain can control they make toys currently with. it's not far off. I know it's not my hands but I miss all of the teeth I pulled and in a month the bridge is starting to feel real. I even had a pain in one of the fake tooth and took the bridge out and it stopped and put it back in and it felt like it was in the tooth and I looked again and there was a piece of sunflower seed from the salad dressing in there I didn't see when rinsing it off after dinner.
shits funny how the brain works. they're mapping everything out to figure this shit out. Unfortunately (not related to your problem) some people have used this technology for bad over good. Ahmm Dr Aquino and his boys at Stanford or the US Army. Well, Stanford was probably looking for the good of it.
If I get back into acting I can always pull out my teeth and rig a prosthetic up for costume. think of the possibilities with different prosthetic hands.
However if they feel they can save it, keep it obvious. Yet it shouldn't cost your life with potential of an infection spreading to other parts of your body. Rid that diseased hand now if they're telling you to do so. one last thing. My brother got a staph infection with a flesh eating bacteria and it took 2 months in isolation for him to rid it and they cut huge patches off of the area.
