Well Karl......I don't think you could have gotten a better birthday gift !!! Congratulations !! It is so good to get that fantastic news. I bet it's pretty weird huh, seeing your fingers and thumb come alive again ?? Just great news !! The simple things mean the most. ) Big smiles !!
NICE ONE Karlos!! You must be over the moon i remember nearly doing back flips whenever something started working again - and Athos i hope your good news comes as fast too.. i think you owe Simon Kay a shandy Karl!

Fantastic Karl!! You've opened my mind to tendon transfers now. I was kinda going against the idea. If I get half the recovery you even had at our little get together I'd be happy.

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.
