United Brachial Plexus Network

I just wanted to see how many of us are talking here and how often. Even if you lurk and read a little, just post and say hi. I just really dont know how many people I'm talking to. If you want answer the following:

Are you the injured, spouse, parent or other:
How long injured:
OBPI or TBPI:
How were you injured:

For me:
Are you the injured, spouse, parent or other: Injured
How long injured: 1 yr 4 months
OBPI or TBPI: TBPI
How were you injured: Motorcycle accident

To answer your questions:
I am the mother of an injured daughter
She has been injured for 3 years, 2 months, 21 days
RTBPI
Motorcycle accident (she was the passenger, the driver was killed)

I read ALL the boards as I find I can sometimes help on the TBPI forum even though I am NOT TBPI but OBPI.

I am the injured person
33 years
LOBPI
Traumatic birth, born breach at 27 weeks (preemie)

Marieke 33, LOBPI
RN

I am the injuried

TBPI

Passenger was me; driver was killed not at that the scene, he livved for a month and died on his 18th b-day in the hosp. He was my boyfriend
I was 17 years old at the time of accident.

Kathleen, 39 years old

I was injured almost 23 years ago just after 18th birthday.
Water Ski Racing
I read this section almost daily. I usually post when the subject is something related to sports or how to do something one handed. I almost never post when it is related to the medical issues and I don't read many of the medical ones either.

> Are you the injured, spouse, parent or other:
I am injured
> How long injured:
Now going on 9 years
> OBPI or TBPI:
Actually, neither. No one knows the exact cause. Best guess of the doctors so far is that is is viral- but could be genetic
> How were you injured:
Two attacks since 1999. First to my hand wih residual arm weakness- Second time was to my shoulder with scapular winging and more arm weakness.
