4 months since last post
Hi everyone, Or should I say, everyone that remembers me? I'm sure you'll remember Jeff, my husband that has a RTBPI from being hit by a tree? Well, the last time I posted, Jeff had just had surgery. Well, it's been four months since then and he is regaining his bicep and tricep. He has intense physical therapy 3 times a week and with their help, he's regained so much in the last six weeks I can't believe it. Sorry it's taken so long to get back on board, but it's been a little hectic around here. With only my husband and I here, all the responsibility of everything lies on my shoulders. Well, low and behold, I had to have surgery the end of April for a NON cancerous growth. (thank God) But for six weeks, things kinda went to sh** around here. But with the help of Jeffs family, we came through it okay. I'll try to stay in touch better this time. But anyway, Jeff's next Dr. appt. is July first. So we'll see what's next on his agenda. I really missed you guys. Thanks for listening. Debi

Great news Debi !! Good the tricep is kicking in. This is the radial nerve, which usually gets the brunt of the injury. Encouraging that it is back up and working. Therapy will help a lot now. Tell Jeff to hang in there....those muscles will strengthen with a little time and some work.
Good luck with your surgery in April. Good the growth is not the bad type
) And good luck with Jeff's doc visit. Very encouraging news.....thanks for the update !!

- 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.

Hi Debi, that's such great news about Jeff, I know you were worrying about the surgery and I remember his injury was pretty severe, that's looking like a great result. Sorry to hear you had surgery too, maybe that's the lot now! Best wishes Jen NZ
