tribune february 22 1989 cil accident victim conquers injury by bruce stapley a yearanda half after his right arm was severed in a farm accident george reesor looks back and wonders if he was real ly the victim or merely a bystander j reclining in the comfort of an easy chair at his mccowan road home george demonstrates the dexterity of the prosthesis made especially for him last spring the first day home i helped anna rake the leaves he recalls to celebrate i dug up a small maple tree and moved it to another location it will always have special significance george admits the artificial limb will never take the place of a real arm still he marvels at the workmanship of what hes come to appreciate as a valuable tool i have twice the strength in my grip that i have in my good hand he says he can strap the device on in about 10 seconds a contraction of his bicep muscle sends out a minute electric signal thats pick ed up by an electrode the signal is then amplified resulting in the george reesor not handicapped activation of a motor that opens and closes the hand george admits that initially he was ready to scrap the whole idea when he learned the cost however the 9300 price tag was shared by ohip 75 per cent and war amps 25 per cent the prosthesis comes with a hand attachment as well as an in terchangeable claw that enables him to do rough work in his shop the arm can be bent at the elbow and then locked into any position george finds it handy working with equipment like a weedtrimmer in that he can wrap his hand around the shaft to stabilize his grip george has learned to write with his left hand and while he sometimes has trouble doing things like buttering bread he claims the only limitations are in his head creativity is in my mind not my hand he says im able to do things with one hand i never thought possible before george honestly admits hed be lost without wife anna for sup port all members of his family have been extremely helpful a positive experience he states son dale had some spare time he helped me finish off the basement we had a great time together visiting and talking when i asked my dad to come over he was pleased it made him feel important george now has a parttime job to go along with the work he does on the farm hes a field inspec- prior to the accident he calls tor with the provincial govern- himself v just another employee george recently completed a new workshop on the property farmers to adopt improved soil i hell be spending a lo of time management practises and help ment in york region employed in the land stewardship pro gram its meant to encourage there once its all set up ft ill be pounding and welding just like before he promises i im not handicapped h states assuredly i prevent soil erosion george travels from farm to farm and makes sure folks are carrying out their commitments i always enjoyed cruising the back roads and talking to people now im being paid for it he smiles george is loud in his praise of claremont area resident bill sauter he describes him as the worlds foremost pioneer in myo electric limbs bill the designer of georges prosthesis is the director of the myoelectric limb
