I took fresh pictures of my prosthesis, and uploaded them, then put them into an email to you.

Yes, we both seem to have common partial amputations of the hand. I do have a cosmetic prosthesis made of silicone. It is worn like a glove over the remaining part of the hand, and my thumb, index, and middle fingers stick through the prosthesis to allow them to continue to function. The distal part of the ring finger and the entire little finger of my prosthesis are bendable into different positions to allow objects to be held in them, but otherwise the fingers don't move as in the newer prostheses that have X-finger elements or iFinger elements. If you'd like to see pictures of my prosthesis, please give me your email address. My prosthesis was produced by the Livingskin company (http://www.livingskin.com/Home/PartialHand.html)
I look forward to future contact with you.
