Re: TBPI... Is this a "learning experience"?

I like the person I've become since the accident. I feel like going through such hardships acted sort of like a distillation process where now I feel like I'm really "Me." without all the extra debris, if that makes sense. I hope your pain gets better; a good book is just as comforting as ...

Re: LAST SURGERY!!!

Thanks :) Saw my doc yesterday and got the splint off. So far everything is looking great and now I can extend for a low handshake and it looks pretty darn natural.

LAST SURGERY!!!

Had my last official surgery this week to rotate my arm into a better position. Yay!!! It's been 3 years and around 30 surgeries (4 in the last 2 months). It's nice to be at the end. I will have to find a new hobby. ;P (oh and don't worry, of all those surgeries, only about 5 were for the brachial p...
