- 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.
Re: Happy Thanksgiving
Happy Thanksgiving to those who celebrate it! Am I right in thinking that you guys have 2 turkey dinners in 2 months? Now that's just greedy :0) I haven't tasted turkey for 2 years, Christmas in midsummer kinda puts you off a big roast........

Re: Happy Thanksgiving
kath-what you said about humour-here's a great link. Humour really does help us cope and it changes perceptions of us as 'disabled' people too.....it's my awareness effort! Some of these quotes are hilarious......http://www.mdausa.org/publications/Ques ... dding.html
