Re: fatigue of good arm
Hi Jeff, 25 years since my injury and I pulled all five out, so basically no use of the arm except bicep. I have done everything with my arm, moved myself and a bunch of friends more times than I can count (for a while another buddy and I referred to ourselves as "three arms will move you"...

Re: Reteaching your brain to heal.....
Hi John, I had my surgery over 25 years ago, so might be a bit fuzzy but close. I had the intercostal to bicep. I originally had to breath deep to get the bicep to fire but sneezing or coughing it fired on its own. After some period of time, I was able to get the bicep to move without breathing deep...

Re: Athletic Arm Sling
Just got this picture from Aaron. He was a second yellow belt in this picture and is now a green belt, (I have no clue what that means, but I am sure some of you will)
He is ordering a new sling and it might be black........any symbolism there?
Great job Aaron, keep it up!

Re: Overly Optomistic
When I read your post, I was thinking the same thing Chris said, have her read some of the TBPI forums and even this thread so she can get a better understanding of this injury. I love having optimistic people in my life, especially since I am a half full type of person myself, so I would work on ge...

BPI's at Challenged Athletes Weekend!
Hi, I just sent this e-mail to everyone who has purchased or inquired about the athletic arm sling but I wanted to make sure everybody on here knew about this and got invited too. I know about the BPI camp and don't want anybody to think I am trying to take anything away from that wonderful event, I...

Re: wondering about adapted bikes
Agree 100% with Heddi, tandom splitter for brakes and both shifters on one side. She can use the brake/shifter for the real derailer and use a handlebar tip shifter (usually for triathlon handlebars) for the front derailer. Here is a pic of me in a triathlon, kinda fuzzy,but you get the idea. Also, ...

Re: Athletic Activities you are doing!
Way to go Mike,
I almost signed up for that here in Southern California, but the team didn't work out, I heard the hardest part is the lack of sleep and the fact that you never really get rest after each leg.
How many miles did you do personally?

Re: Hi all, Newbie here saying hi...
Today is actually the "midpoint" of my life so far with this injury. My injury happened 1 week before my 20th Bday, and today is 2 weeks before my 40th. It may sound funny, but physically this injury was the worst thing that ever happened to me, but emotionally and psychologically the bes...
