Found myself playing around outside early one morning, in my short hook.

 

What does anyone think?  Authentic enough?

 

Went in public like this a few times already.  Although I do get some stares, it's kinda of fun doing it, just the same.

The hook is a bit too high, but it's not bad in general.

Hello, what a beautiful artificial hand on your profile, it is your property or a photo from the internet. I love how it looks, I imagine how nice it will feel to the touch

Thank you!
Yes, the hand you see on the left is my property and this is me wearing it.
Imagine touching a cold rubberised hard plastic. For me it feels very pleasant.

I like the color and texture that I see in the photo, the brightness, well everything!
I always said removing something that works 100%
to put something that looks the same but does not work 100%
does not make sense, that's why I like to see that it is artificial.
I hope one day I will become an LBE and have one of those and a hook.

Yes. I fully agree with you. I have a cosmetic lifelike glove for it with skin texture, wrinkles, nails, etc... but prefer this artificial look much more.
A photo of the hand taken off of the socket. You can see the metal connection on it.

I'd love to try the hook one day.

Hello again!
It was good to talk to you, some last questions, are you satisfied with using that prosthesis on your hand or would you like to lose your real hand and use the artificial one always placed on a stump?
There are people who only fantasize about it and then go on with their normal life, others really want to have to use an artificial hand to be able to see something at the end of the forearm, as well as go to the place of their real hand and feel the synthetic one.
Greetings...
Do you have pictures of the hand with the cosmetic glove?

Hello!
To be honest with you, I'm not totally satisfied with the prosthesis I have aside from its looks and feel on my body. That's because I can't control it properly (by shoulder or muscle movements). I'm only able to open it by using my other hand which is tedious in the long run. In the end I would like to lose my hand and replace it with a mechanical or myoelectric one. I find it far superior in terms of looks and function to the real hand I have despite several shortcomings it has.
Sadly I don't have any pictures of the cosmetic glove on my hand now, but it does look exactly the same as these:

shorturl.at/qwM57

shorturl.at/jkvIQ

shorturl.at/oEHRW

shorturl.at/wJQT2

shorturl.at/luAKP

It's quite difficult to put the glove back on without talcum and some other tools, but I will eventually do it one day.

The gloves are good, I just see they need restoration, a little hand cream or olive oil, that is how leather garments are treated to restore them, I still like the hand without the glove better because of the shine, so for what you tell me is mechanical, they are better, they do not carry batteries and it is easier to use them.
Thanks for sharing.
I leave you one that looks very good!

Thanks. Yes, you're right. The mechanical arm would probably be better.
The hand you posted looks very nice. I would love to have it.
Feel free to visit my blog. Lots of prosthetic arms you'll like and other stuff there.

I love the look in the photo.  I, like you also pretend but I am also

a Tried-To-Be amputee (LBE).  Your profile suggests you are in NY?

NYC or NY State?  I'm in Toronto, PM me for other details if your

interested in becoming "authentic".
