Jeff Kepner, an American father who had a double arm transplant after losing his hands 10 years ago, has spoken of his joy at the operation's success but says that he has been left with hands hairier than his body.
It took a team of 10 surgeons to attach the hands and forearms to Kepner's amputed arms, which stopped just after the elbow. Kepner is now learning to grip and pick up small objects again.

Wow that's an inspiring story but also sounds like it could have been written by Stephen King!
