Re: ROLL CALL ( LURKERS TOO!!!!!!! )
Hi, I got my injury from a fall down the stairs 5 months ago, where I was temporarily paralysed and in my panic to get up managed to bilaterally plexus both my arms from trying to pull myself up by my neck. Luckily right arm is healing up okay but am waiting surgery on left arm.

Karl from Lake Forest,CA. Lbpi, hit a car head on at 40mph on my bicycle 7/31/02. Okay, so I'm not Lance Armstrong, but I did read his book while laid up. Jenny, does this qualify me as a biker?

- 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.

Hilo, my name is Zachary and I am 8 months old. Doctor tried to yank me out of momma. It hurt real bad. Doctor panicked and left me half way in. She left me like dat. Another doctor came and turned me just right, mommy says he's an angel send from heaven.
