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.

Bridget, Mindy reports she is not being allowed to post any more, only read others posts. She lives in Northern Minnesota, and tells me she's tried EVERYTHING to get help with her situation, she doesn't qualify for anything.

Jenny,

Thank you for posting. I do not understand why she is not allowed to post? Can you ask her to please email me privately at: bridget@ubpn.org.
