My son is 7 and since he watched "FINDING NEMO" 30 times and finally put two and two together as I sit and cried......he calls his arm either his"lucky Fin" or his special arm. He insists that he has more muscle in his OBPI arm than in his other arm......

Great topic. Makes it easier when we're not always so serious about serious things. The first movie we ever took my son to see was "Finding Nemo." We had no idea what it was about and he was under a year old and still breastfeeding so he could actually wait through a movie. Anyway, after we saw it it seemed fitting to call his right arm his "lucky fin." Makes us smile and Nemo is an awesome role model for people with BPIs.

When I was very young I called my injured arm my bad arm. Now I just call it my left arm or my injured arm.

My whole life I have called my arm lefty(LOBPI) and my family has also. Its funny to read how many people on here call their arm by a name. I think weve all got the same kinda brain damage! just kidding..but seriously its really crazy how much we all think alike.

I always called it my "bad arm." Tho I did have a gym teacher refer to it as my "bum wing" once. I thought that was rather colorful.

My gimp arm is used most often, I've also used my dead weight, my bum arm, flail wing, t-rex arm, paperweight and others. Sorry, I'm TBPI and have a weird sense of humor and talk a lot. My 3 year old niece calls it Uncle Wobby's BooBoo arm.
