- 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.

Ha ha Jacko, I should have guessed! Funny I remember talking to you at Liz's for quite a while but we never got around to how you got your bpi-in fact did we talk much about bpi at all? Eagerly awaiting your missive...

Hi Rob-Liz's post is in response to mine-we work together on a tbpi support group and website in the UK where motorbike accidents are the commonest cause of bpi. It's at http://tbpiukgroup.homestead.com/Index_1.html Liz is a tough boss and keeps me busy :0)I didn't have any surgery but many of the regular posters on the message board there did and may be able to help you with your surgery question. Good luck!
