I think what you did took a lot of courage. Look into some of the prosthesis out there... The ones I have seen make me wonder...

<t>Dori,<br/> I am afraid to say I went through what your family has. I never did get any treatment and financial it I think has pretty much destroyed my life. I live in Minnesota and the insurance industry is beyond words here. Be careful not to anger the HMO to much because they can dump him under...

<t>I can now lift my index finger almost a 1/4 of an inch. My thumb now can lift itself just barely enough to slip a piece of paper under it. No feeling but its movement. Its been almost two and a half years since the accident. Doctors gave up all hope at six months. So I agree with Bill, doctors do...

<t>I know I am going to get a lot of flack for what I am going to say but it needs to be said.<br/> How can anyone put stem cell research and God's name in the same sentence. Those "cells" are the result of someone murdering an unborn child! I cannot believe any Mother could hope upon this kind of r...

<t>As far as retraining goes I ran into a lot of American red tape and got no help. I was a nursing assistant before the car accident. I worked three twelve hour night shifts every weekend. For those who don't know CNAs who work in long term care facilities like I did spend about 80 to 90 percent de...

<t>Paul,<br/> I saw all those medical personnel with the exception of on OT within six months of injury. So the last time my arm was examined was September 2000 by a doctor and April 2001 by an OT. My OT was the first person to ever measure how much movement I had left from my neck to my fingers. Sh...

<t>Okay let me know how this goes... My Mom and Grandma died of breast cancer and until I read your post I never thought about how they would be able to do a mamogram. Someone posted a while back about getting a bp from that test. A friend's Gyn did an ultra sound instead because he felt it was more...

<t>Dori,<br/> I have LTBPI and understand your frustrations. I live every day with the fact US doctors took away any hope of recovery for me. It took six months before I was diagnosed. And then the private insurance stepped in and haulted everything with their we don't have to pay and physicians in ...

<t>Hi! My name is Mindy and I live in Northern MN I have a left TBPI from a car accident over two years ago.<br/> The doctor at Gillettes does not see adults at all. Closest bpi doctor is Mayo Clinic in Rochester if you can get in. They are very pickey about insurance and I was told it would be a si...

<t>Your son can play baseball again. I have a LTBPI and I was left handed. I made myself learn again because I am a single Mom of four. Three boys and one girl.<br/> Swinging the bat took a little work but I got it down. I hold it more like someone who is going to bunt it if that helps. Throwing the...
