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 guess that people do get full recovery, but if it's going to happen it would happen a lot sooner than 5 years. But lots of people get a recovery good enough that the bpi isn't noticeable. No 2 injuries are alike so its hard to say what will happen, but if you've got hand and finger use that's great.
Are you in Sussex, uk? You should check out the tbpi uk website at www.tbpi-group.org -a proper link can be found by clicking on my name, its listed as my homepage.
