Re: Para Long Drive!

Dan,

Thank you so much for this info. I will make every attempt to join you and this awesome association of golfers. I dont think i can do this year, but i will save vacation time and money for 2018. Who knows, maybe i can swing it this year. It certainly is exciting to know you all are out there.

Re: Camera for Lefties?

Been looking for 6 yrs. now. Nobody makes them. It is very frustrating. I as well turn the camera upside down to take pics, or use a tripod. I would like to find a good video cam to use, but can't seem to find any. I'm sure someone would custom make something to your specs. I haven't looked into tha...

Re: Regaining feeling

I have gained alot of sensation through my arm and also my hand and fingers. I am 5+ yrs. post accident. I think its a good thing. I can move 3 fingers now (very little but i can move them) The winter cold isn't so good though. The circulation in my arm and hand is very poor and it gets extremely co...

It velcros around the wrist and forearm and has a flap that pulls your fingers in to a grip position and the flap then goes to a ring on the velcroe part under the w...

Re: Mayo clinic

Thanks jess and angela for the replies. I am probably gonna go through with it, but i might wait till next year. They said at this point (5 yrs. post acc.) it is not time sensitive. I have full confidence in the mayo team and as you said a little would mean alot, i think anyway. It would be great to...

Re: Mayo clinic

First off i must say the Mayo Clinic is a pretty impressive place. I did all the testing and met with Dr. Bishop to discuss my options. He told me that they could do a muscle transfer (grascillas?) to get bicep function. I would not be a good canditate for any finger function because of how stiff my...

I am seeing the triad of docs. That sounds great about getting together. Especially the cake part!
