"I've been hiking in San Diego since I was about 14 years old. It's one of my favorite things to do," Stephen Lemos said."After a couple of hours of climbing out there, I went climbing up a particular rock," he said."As I looked over and I was hollering for my friends, I could see it tearing off my left hand," he said.He underwent numerous surgeries to reattach the hand but ultimately had to have it amputated.
"Because he can actually feel when he touches something, he knows how much pressure to apply and can really interact with people and objects," Akhtar said.Lemos hopes that with the hand, he'll be able to get his life back, even if this version looks a bit different. "I have a special needs son I am raising, and it means the world to me to continue to function," Lemos said.
