United Brachial Plexus Network, Inc.

Had my last official surgery this week to rotate my arm into a better position. Yay!!! It's been 3 years and around 30 surgeries (4 in the last 2 months). It's nice to be at the end. I will have to find a new hobby. ;P (oh and don't worry, of all those surgeries, only about 5 were for the brachial plexus injury)

What a journey for you Angela,glad to know you're done with having surgery you've come along way!may God bless you and your family and may you continue to make strides.Thanks for sharing.

Bless you,Angela! May this be indeed your last surgury!
Your new hobby is posting for us on these Message BoardS. We learn sooo much from you.

Thanks
Saw my doc yesterday and got the splint off. So far everything is looking great and now I can extend for a low handshake and it looks pretty darn natural. I get to have a Bone Stimulator too to help heal the bone. Sounds very Sci-Fi/Horror genre, don't you think?
We'll be shooting an official video once my arm has healed, but I did a little home video to show how the improved angle of my hand affects it's use. .....It even makes my ugly little aparetment kitchen look good. ;P

Hi Angela,

Just wanted to say congrats and that your mini video was great! I had a bone stimulator too - I'm not sure if it helped but it sure didn't do any harm.

congrats on being 'done' (fingers crossed)

i watched your video and i have to say, i would kill for that kind of function in my left arm
