- 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: Medical Resource Directory Updated
Thank you Nancy, I'm glad this facility has agreed to be part of the listing, tbpi experience since 1967 sounds good to me! Have you read/seen that recent paper by Kline from May 2003? Sounds interesting.....
Re: Medical Resource Directory Updated
Yes, Jenny, I have a copy.
Do you want me to send you a copy of it?
