I was really impressed by this sculpture Simon / sjwbuzzgoose assembled out of discarded rock, your be even more amazed by his abilities after you read the paragraph below.

In October Simon mashed his right arm in a motorcycle accident, at the time the consultant was seriously considering amputating his arm. Fortunately after several emergency operations they managed to save the arm. He now has several metal plates holding his bones together, and has had the damaged muscle in the forearm removed! This means that his fingers, and thumb are permanently paralysed, and there's no sensation in the hand, apparently feeling may return after a further year or more.

It's amazed me how my friend has coped with the disability, and he never moans or makes a fuss, any words of encouragement will be gratefully received as Simon will be keeping an eye on this upload. (o:

Thank you for any comments, and have a nice day.

Nice creation and that too done with one arm! I admire Simon's courage and perseverance and wish him a quick heeling of the injured arm.

Never argue with an idiot. They'll drag you down to their level, then beat you with experience.

Great example of the perseverance of the "human spirit," Phlossie.
He is to be admired. Excellent job on the sculpture.
Wonderful shot.

I can only but echo the above statements. His determination and courage have shone through - he should be proud of himself. Half the battle is having good friends too which he has in you Phil. Great sculpture he has made too - nice shot.

Another face of a true man [I refer to my own little "male" that I have at home and who cannot bear any pain, if inflicted on him especially by me LOL]. I like Simon but I dislike motorbikes to say it very gently.
Hoping that Simon gets better as soon as possible, I admit having a peek at his gallery which I am going to like a lot. Of course after more profound study LOL
Lots of love and best wishes to yourself, dear Phlossie and Simon from SAM & SAAB

Quite an ordeal. In time, as healing continues, the nerves may allow for feeling in his hands. The body is remarkable in healing itself. I sincerely hope that is what will happen for Simon. From one who went from being totally bed ridden to walking almost 2 miles a day, I can attest to the wisdom of the body in setting itself right. Best wishes to you, Simon.
