I know this seems like a silly question but I have to ask, How many people refer to their BP arm with a name or as if it's not really part of them.
I thought of it when I read the post about "Arms/hands growing at different rates" and she mentioned her son calls it "lefty".
Example: I have referred to it as "Erby", and my husband calls it the "Claw".
It's all in fun. How silly are we when it comes to our arms?

- Injury Description, Date, extent, surgical intervention etc: I am ROBPI, global injury, Horner's Syndrome. No surgery but PT started at 2 weeks old under the direction of New York Hospital. I wore a brace 24/7 for the first 11 months of my life. I've never let my injury be used as an excuse not to do something. I've approach all things, in life, as a challenge. I approach anything new wondering if I can do it. I tried so many things I might never have tried, if I were not obpi. Being OBPI has made me strong, creative, more determined and persistent. I believe that being obpi has given me a very strong sense of humor and compassion for others.

Re: Let's see how silly we really can be
hmmm I never thought of it... I just noticed that people call their arms by a name.
When I was a child the kids would ask "which is the bad arm?" That was so they would not pull or hit me in that arm when we played games that were rough.
I use to clown around and hold my arm in weird position and tell my family they could not hit a cripple.... they did anyway... all in fun...

You guys are making me laugh...

How about wacko... since I am always poking (wacking)someone with it!
