How is everyone?
Just wondering how everyone is doing. I haven't had much time to be on the board so I just thought I'd drop in and say "hello" and that I hope that everyone is doing great.

Re: How is everyone?
as far as my injury goes, i am doing very well since my surgery. i thought at first it was all a mistake, but it has gotten better. still annoying, though. i thought i would have some feeling in it, but no such luck. just as long as i have a bit of function in it, i'll be ok.
as far as thinking about seeing this &%$#@ dr that caused the BPI, i think anyone in that office might want to bring some earplugs that day. i might just tell him what i think and i wont be nice about it. hope he refuses the request from the insurance co.

Re: How is everyone?
Hi Angela,
My name is Ian. This is the first time we have chatted. I crashed a motorcycle in Cleveland, Ohio this past June. Tonight I flew into st. Louis to meet with dr. Mackinnon and dr. Tung. My consultation is tomorrow morning. we will see what happens. I have a complete root avulsion so who knows. I am glad to be on this board. It has helped. I appreciate all of your messages and videos. They are inspiring. Hopefully, I will be able to do the same down the road.
I look forward to staying in the loop with you.

- Injury Description, Date, extent, surgical intervention etc: May 24, 2008 an 88 year old lady did not see me and pulled out while I was riding my 06 HD Street Glide. The accident resulted in 9 broken bones and brain hemorrhaging. The accident's most serious results was two avulsions confirmed in my C6 & C7 vertebrae. In Oct of 08 Dr. Li of Wake Forest University performed nerve transfer lasting around 8 hours in surgery. I have limited use now of my left arm. It took until July of 09 before it moved at all, and now is moving limited. I experience burning pain in my left hand, staying busy helps keep the mind off of burning. I visited the Mayo Clinic May, 2010 and consulted with their brachial plexus team. May 1, 2012, I underwent a muscle transfer at Wake Forest University. This surgery was deemed a success and I have more movement in my arm.

Re: How is everyone?
I haven't checked in that much myself as of late. I should, but just haven't.
Almost two years since my surgery and I do have some arm use - not much but some.
Great to read everyone's response.
