This 14 year old girl had a traumatic amputation of her Left forearm while using a grass cutting machine in March 2019.
Please see Blog Jan - March 2019 for the 1st Photo
The girl was rushed to Madanapalle where she was operated and wound looked after. After discharge we took over the wound cleaning and dressing at the RHC.
What struck us was her attitude, smile and air of positivity in spite of such a grievous wound. She wrote her year end exams in April scoring almost 90%.
By then the wound had healed well and we referred her to the Chittoor Campus of the Christian Medical College. There she was under the care of Dr Suranjan Bhattacharjee, a renowned figure in Rehabilitation.
Her muscles were strengthened and an artificial limb fitted in May 2019
She is now active and coping with her new limb. The plan is for a bionic limb in about a couple of years.
