This is Carmen’s Story

I was referred to POSI by my hand surgeon in October of 2015. After meeting Kevin Barnes I had a positive outlook. His caring and knowledge of what would work best for me was very helpful. The 75 minute drive from Delaware to the Marlton New Jersey office was well worth the trip my wife and I took for several appointments.

Blood clots from my heart traveled down my right arm to my hand which caused an amputation from below the elbow to my hand. As a senior I wasn’t sure I could adapt to such a change. I was worried as to whether I could resume my normal activities which were cooking and shopping for my family.

Amazingly with Kevin’s help I am now able to cook again. I feel useful and proud of myself and the journey was not as long as I once thought. I am very thankful to POSI and its staff for this prosthetic hand.
