i believe its apart of a test from a higher being. if anyone wants to see a really good movie watch 'Max'. john cusack stars in it as a art dealer with only one arm in world war 1 era germany. he knows a young hitler before he came into his reign and he trys to convince him to be a aritist and apply his dark energies towards something constructive. yall should check this movie out definitely. i found it to be moving and thought provoking

- Injury Description, Date, extent, surgical intervention etc: I am the wife of Rick, LTBPI. On 6/30/2008, our lives were forever changed. Rick was in a severe auto accident and sustained multiple injuries: broken jaw and facial bones, mild traumatic brain injury, L1 fracture, 4th cranial nerve palsy and LTBPI. With regard to the LTBPI, Rick has had an ulner nerve transfer (January 2009). We are now considering next steps in his treatment, perhaps some muscle transfers. Pain continues to be the worst thing about his injury. We are told that the pain goes away within five years or people have learned to deal with it. Meanwhile, we pray....and wait.

Re: TBPI... Is this a "learning experience"?
My husband has a TBPI and we have this conversation all the time, and I think that sometimes things happen for a reason, we just will never know that reason. In the beginning I would drive myself crazy blaming myself for telling him to stop making an illegal turn up the street, so a week later going the new route a car hit him. With time we have realized that we have changed, we learned who matters in our life, and have learned to not just stay afloat in life, but enjoy life, especially our kids.
