SORRY, I'M NOT SURE IF YOUR A DAY AHEAD OR BEHIND ME..........(so i don't know if i'm early or late haha) BUT STILL WANTED TO MAKE SURE THE WORLD KNEW IT WAS YOUR SPECIAL DAY !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
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.
wow i was so surprised when i logged in-shouldn't have been, i suppose, that tina t remembers this stuff.........i'm 43 since you're asking, and who cares eh?? haven't been to the pub yet, later, later, a cute bar on the harbour where we can watch the sunset...i'll have one for all you guys, i reckon that means a hangover....and its full summer now mikey, oh yessssss, i spent all my life with winter birthdays and i think i could get used to this! thank you all again you made my day:0)
