The then 18-year-old engineering student was in a crash, which resulted in amputation from the elbow.
Now, her new limbs have had a very positive development.
I trained my toes to operate my phone, laptop, TV remote, and Kindle.
At one point, she gave prosthetic hands a try, but wasn’t happy with them.
That’s when she decided to go for the bilateral hand transplant.
And so, Siddanagowder underwent Asia’s first intergender hand transplant, a 13-hour endeavor.
The muscles in her hand may have started adapting to a female body.
Siddanagowder is one of the more than 130 people who have successfully received hand transplants, perJohns Hopkins Medicine.
Now, the 25-year-old is due to graduate from IIM-Calcutta next year.
