Hello! Let me introduce myself.

I started this blog to capture the small moments that come with living with an upper-limb prosthetic.

Most conversations about prosthetic technology focus on specifications, features, and engineering breakthroughs. Those things matter, but they don’t always capture what it actually feels like to use these tools in everyday life.
This space is where I reflect on the real experiences behind the technology.

Sometimes that means trying new devices and asking practical questions about how they work with ordinary objects: turning a page in a book, opening a pill bottle, tearing open a bag of chips, or separating two stubborn LEGO bricks.

Sometimes it means writing about the emotional side of adapting to prosthetics, the learning curve that comes with new technology, and the quiet moments when something suddenly works in a way you didn’t expect.

I’m not an engineer or a clinician. I’m simply a 30-something someone living this experience day to day, curious about how prosthetic technology can better connect with real life.
My hope is that these reflections are helpful to others who are navigating their own prosthetic journey, as well as to the designers, clinicians, and engineers who are working to improve the tools we rely on.

Because in the end, prosthetics aren’t just about technology.
They’re about people, and the everyday moments that make up a life.
