Hello. Nancy I have herd that you had the MOD QUAD surgery. How did that improve your use of you arm? Have you had any previous surgeries. Just wondering cause it sounds like a really great procedure for improvement. The other surgeries questions come up because I have had another surgery on my shoulder / upper arm. By the way I am only 16. Not sure if that is a good or bad thing, for the surgery anyway. Thank you,
Amy

I am glad you ask that question. I am 31 & never had any operations on my arm either. I am a ROBPI. I am even unsure of what a Mod Quad is. Since I have recently found this website it has really opened my eyes to things. I would love to know like you what possibilities are out there for us. I know each of us is different, but maybe a general idea.

Good luck.

Hi girls

I know this post was for Nancy and she is away at the moment... so I am taking the liberty of giving you a link to Nancy's story about surgery...

Hope you don't mind Nancy... you can post when your back...
Have either of you read the Awareness Material at the home page. That is where I really learned so much about OBPI.

Mod/quad is a term TCH uses for one of its surgery.
I have never had any surgery...
