Surgery Rescheduled

Post by DebilynPiper »

Hi everyone. Well, the surgery is tomorrow. (the 27th) They just called about an hour ago. So much for an advance warning. But I just wanted to let everyone know. I'll keep ya posted. Wish us luck! And all prayers welcome. Jeff and I both want to thank you for your support. Gotta go. Tons of stuff to do before tomorrow. Debi

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.

I am glad they were able to reschedule so fast. Waiting can be really difficult for something this important. Jeff will do just fine with this. In a little while you will be posting updates about him throwing things at you and taking up all your computer time! LOL Prayers and blessings to you both!

4th surgery

Post by cenza1 »

Well' my Vencenza had her fourth surgery yesterday March 11, 2002, and everything has gone well. The only thing that was upsetting at Texas Childrens was a family was turnned away on scheduled surgery because thier insurance had either not had thier s@#T together
or it did not prepare on time. can you imagine how that family felt when they were told so.
