Hi Tanya,

Sorry to hear of what you're going through. We've all been there. You'll get alot of support here and from the site Lizzy gave you a link to. (P.S. Lizzy - great job!). When TBPI happened to "us" I read every single posting and learned so much. Don't hesitate to ask for help. I am the mother of a 22 year old son who got his injury 2 years ago from a car accident.

Hi, my name is Roy from California. I have a right arm bpi as a result of surgery.

Hi Tanya! Tell your boyfriend that being tbpi is not the end of the world. Of those on the list, I've had it the longest - 48 years. Worse thing you can do is to sit there saying I can't do it. You may have to be a little creative at times but most things can be done. My friends have finally learned not to challenge me in pool. Stop and think about that for a second - a one-armed pool shark. Of course, it did not happen overnight. Patience and persistence. If you want to discuss things off-board, I'm at fieldstomper@hotmail.com Bill

Steve Loudermilk,36 yrs old,Nebo NC,OBPI. NEXT

I've been BPI since birth,I'm 36,I've done all sorts of crap.I've even been in surveying & mapping for the last 12 yrs.
E mail me if you'd like to rap.
