I have read your messages and it may just be me. This is a great sight for sure!! I was a Semi Driver for 20 yrs with a fractured elbow and scapula of my left and torn nerves, ERBS, My right good arm got torn driving a Semi after 20 yrs without a ticket or accident( NO ReGETS). After 4 yrs I got PTD from workman compensation. I did floor loads at _20 below of 40,000 lbs. I wish I had choses since 1952, They were not there. Everyone has issues with erbs and how to treat them are many! I live my life dealing with pain and problems dealing with ERBS with out operations. But the bottom line to me is what I did overcome in life with ERBS. Someday Doctors will fix ERBS for sure, not just a experiment if operation work or not. Your Greats Joy will come from what you can overcome with your ERs at any age. I wish I was better with my words and why I am leaving this sight, But I would say I love the Parents that try to help and everone that trys to overcome there limiation and other issues with erbs!

I agree with Mica - I remember meeting you at one of the Chicago picnics not long after my granddaughter was born with LOBPI!

I thought I need to check out of here because. I fell bad that erbs cant be corrected Once! I read the messages about the over use issue over and over again. The things that happen are so real but yet, to me it all becomes a point I am afraid for parents with babys with erbs or chidren or adults with erbs will limited themselfs from trying or parents limiting there children to do things. Heres a example of my world in my first Dept Of Transportation Examination. I needed to pass this to drive a semi. The first doctor refused to pass me on this D.O.T physical. Why , Because he stated to me ( you will never be able to be safe driving a semi. He would not even let me try. The secound doctor pass me because he wanted me to at less have a chance to learn. 20 yrs of no tickets or accidents. Doing years of floor loads of unload thousands of pounds. I put my erbs arm threw hell over the years. I do remeber being at the Chicago erbs picnic and I am glad you remember me. I will stay here, I just hope I will not hurt anyone by how I write things.
