I have been having dreams lately that I have a NORMAL arm, one that works properly. The other morning when I got up, I thought that maybe I could open my bedroom door, so I tried. I OPENED IT WITH MY TBPI ARM!! I have pronation(sp?) but no supination(sp?). I just placed my hand on the door knob and turned it! With great excitment, it opened! Just had to share!

So happy for you, what fantastic news may there be much more to follow. Wishing you all the best for more recovery

I'll be the demonstrator at camp!! If I can show someone else, that would be WONDERFUL!! Thanks for the support ladies! I knew that people here would understand the excitment that I have! I'll keep you all posted!

wow courtney that is WONDERFUL! Here's hoping your injury is just a stretch and that the recovery continues this way....altho didn't you have avulsions diagnosed?? If so then that is miraculous and I'm so glad for you. :0) Now you gotta work with a PT to maximise what's there and encourage what's still to come. Good luck... :0)

Heeyyyy...good news Courtney; like jen said, lets hope this injury was just a bad stretch and things will improve over time with plenty of therapy...keep up the good work!! :0)

Fantastic Courtney!!
I remember the pure elation at each bit of recovery, think i showed everyone in the street when my thumb moved (about 1mm!) the first time, really hope you keep on keeping on!
