- Injury Description, Date, extent, surgical intervention etc: January 1980 Yamaha RD200 vs 16 wheeler truck, result, 1 totally paralysed right arm. I was 21, now 54. I had no surgery, I don't regret this. Decided to totally ignore limitations (easily done aged 21) adapted very quickly to one handed life, got married, had 3 kids, worked- the effect of the injury on my life (once the pain stopped being constant) was minimal and now, aged 54, I very rarely even think of it, unless I bash it or it gets cold, then I wish I'd had it amputated :) Except for a steering knob on my car, I have no adaptations to help with life, mainly because I honestly don't think of myself as disabled and the only thing I can't do is peel potatoes, which is definitely a good thing.

Merry Christmas to everyone :0)
I'd like to add that the last year or so on these boards has been really great-even on the gen board there has been mainly civilised discussion and respectful postings. I actually started to learn some stuff about the different surgeries and doctors. Long may it continue, this has been a good place to be.
Wishing peace and harmony to you and your families.
MERRY CHRISTMAS one and all!
