Hand Transplant

After losing his hand 30 years ago, David F. Savage recieved a hand transplant, the third of such sugaries preformed in the world.
The shrinkage of the blood vessels leading to his hand had shrunk, which caused problems for the doctors. They were able to attach them though, and now the biggest problem is with the body rejecting the new hand. After three to six months it shouldn't be much of a problem though.
