United Brachial Plexus Network, Inc.

Hi, I'm a 31 year old male who suffered a permanent TBPI 12 years ago during a motorcyle accident. It sounds kinda strange I suppose but even though it's been 12 years I've never quite been able to accept or come to terms with the impact the injury has had on my life.

I just wondered if anyone knows of an individual (or even a group of individuals) that are based in the UK (somewhere around Leeds would be good but at this stage I think I'd go anywhere!) that I could get in touch with to talk to and hopefully help me get my head straight about the whole situation.

Yours hopefully,

NigeP

Hi Nigel

We have a TBPI Group in the UK that you would be interested in. The website for it is http://www.tbpi-group.org and we have messageboards as well which can be found at http://pub28.ezboard.com/badultswithbra ... usinjuries The boards there are a bit quiet at the moment...something to do with something or other going on in Germany at the moment I suspect ;0)

We have loads of members from Leeds, most of 'em were or still are patients at Leeds 'Jimmies' so you certainly aren't alone out there. Also, we are having our Annual meeting and social in August at Squires Cafe and Bar near Sherburn-in-Elmet...if you go along to the website you'll see details there. You would be MORE than welcome to come along! Hope you can make it!
