Hi Everyone,
Just wanted to let everyone know I'm still around. Busy with work and the
such. Isn't much new with the arm. Supposed to call the doc one of these
days to check in on what's new. Maybe I need bring awareness back to myself?
Sounds like as good as time as any.

Thought the following article, which showed up tonight, might be of
interests to us:

Hope I can spend more time here to catch up.

Great article, I'm going to post it on the other site! I personally love what the possibilties may be due to technology and the incredible work that goes into making it happen. Thanks for the post, keep'm coming.

Hi Ryan, glad you're ok :0)
The boffins have been fiddling around with this for a while, I remember reading about it. These things do tend to take a while to filter down to the grass roots (ie patients that could be helped)-look at the reimplantation of nerve roots, started in the 1970's, now a few patients in London have been treated this way and as far as I know it hasn't got anywhere else yet. It seems to work well but it will be a long time before it's mainstream I'm afraid. So I guess maybe we might see the monkey brain technology to trickle down by the time we are retiring!
