Guitarist Hopes To Play Again With The Help of Bionic Hand

Dorian Cox, the 27-year-old guitarist of the indie band The Long Blondes, thought his guitar playing days were over after he suffered a stroke. He now has a glimmer of hope thanks to some neurological physiotherapy which includes a cutting-edge piece of medical technology. The SaeboFlex helps patients by supporting their wrists and helping them grasp and release objects. "It's a fantastic service, it's helping tremendously and I think it can work wonders for me and others — it's almost like a gym for my hand. I know things might never be the same again and nobody can give me a definite answer about whether I'll play guitar again but I'm getting back on track with their help," Mr. Cox said. This thing looks really cool, and I'm sure many people will benefit from it, though I can't help but wonder if they make a model that lets you shoot your fist at an enemy.

No, you were not!

"It was difficult to take in because I thought strokes only happened in older people and I'd always been in pretty good health.

Of course you were not. What happened was...you thought you were in good health, but you were not and there is proof.

Things like strokes do not happen overnight.

Events that you did not see, took place in your body, the result of which was the stroke.

I wish you a quick recovery.
