new to site and considering surgery

Post by clover317 »

Hey everyone...

I just found out about this site and am excited to know there are many others out there that understand this type of injury. I recently found a doctor in Texas that perform the Mod Quad surgery. His name is Dr. Nath. Has anyone gone to him? How was it? I'm 25 and have never even met with a doctor that knows anything about this injury. I'm nervous...I don't want to get my hopes up and then be disappointed in the outcome.

Injury Description, Date, extent, surgical intervention etc: I am ROBPI, global injury, Horner's Syndrome. No surgery but PT started at 2 weeks old under the direction of New York Hospital. I wore a brace 24/7 for the first 11 months of my life. I've never let my injury be used as an excuse not to do something. I've approach all things, in life, as a challenge. I approach anything new wondering if I can do it. I tried so many things I might never have tried, if I were not obpi. Being OBPI has made me strong, creative, more determined and persistent. I believe that being obpi has given me a very strong sense of humor and compassion for others.
Location: New York

Hi, my son was in a traumatic car accident on 11/2/05. The most troublesome area we are facing at this time appears to be a BP injury. His left bicept does not even register on the scale. Has anyone else here had this? Any ideas on how long it may take to begin re-firing? I don't want to wait too long before we explore other options. Was very excited to see there are options, that is the surgery you all seem to be having luck with. Where would I go in WI for information on this? Sorry I have so many questions but this is all new to us. He does have feeling in his arm and hand. He can move the hand completely. Arm is not in any pain.
