----------
I am a 29 year old female with Mixed Connective Tissue Disease.
Approximately 5 years ago I had one finger and 2 toes amputated due to a
clotting problem with my illness. About one month ago I saw a report on
television about a woman that had gotten a prosthetic finger. When my
finger and toes were amputated no one informed of this option. Do
prosthetic fingers and toe tips exist? I no longer wear sandals because I
am embarrassed and I hide my hand.

I am just writing to ask if prosthetic fingers and/or toes exist and where
would I start looking? I do not have much money. I am on Social Security
Disability.

Thank you,
