Re: Amputation

<t>hi Janelle,<br/> <br/> I'm sorry to hear about the amputation. I had the same in 1983 and csn't use a prosthesis.<br/> <br/> However, life as a one handed person is perfectly doable, although it may be hard to imagine. I have a full time career, feed three hungry teenage boys, swim, bike, etc. It...

Re: Any suggestions on how to resume physical activity

<t>Hi<br/> <br/> I don't have pics but can tell you that the balance will come as you work your way through it.<br/> <br/> I swim one handed and am up to 200 m as I'm qualifying for SCUBA certification. I also play squash, ride a bicycle, etc.<br/> <br/> Sometimes I'm a bit wobbly and I have fallen,...

Re: How do you do everything with just one hand?

For shoes, I use the spring clips that you get on coats, sweat shirts, etc. Works great. I can tie laces but this works a lot quicker.

Re: Motorcycle accidents.

Me too, in 1982.

I was the passenger.

22 broken bones. All healed. Except for the onese in the arm that was removed later.

Oddly enough, thinking about a trike. Must be a mid life crisis.

Re: Chiropractor Question

I see one to help with my general spine and crooked back issues. But I do not do my neck. He doesn't want to do it anyway as he knows about the injury. Doesn't touch the pain, but makes my general well being much better.

He is a posture specialist and that helps.

Re: Nerve Pain

<t>Hi Cami,<br/> <br/> I'm so sorry that you are part of this now and that you have to ask this question. <br/> <br/> I stopped the medication through the use of Lilt therapy, a laser therapy I've written about here. Just check the list.<br/> <br/> It didn't remove the pain but tuned it down.<br/> <...

Re: Amputation- Good idea or not?

<t>I usually put my 2 cents in when this Q comes up. <br/> <br/> Decided to take mine off a year after the injury (the arm was badly damaged too), and never regretted it. 25 years later, I still remember the feeling of freedom after waking up with it gone. Made no diff with pain, but big diff with l...

power boat modification

<t>Hi <br/> <br/> I'm looking at a nice 19ft boat, and need to know if anyone here has ever modified a power boat for one-handed ops. I did it years ago by mounting the throttle on the dash, but I still had to let go to throttle. I'd like to do something different.<br/> <br/> Any ideas or places to ...
