Re: suggestions to help son dress himself
<t>Its easier to sort out the injured arm first. Slide that one into the sleeve, and then struggle the good arm into the other sleeve. Teeth are always useful, but be careful, as its expensive to have dental work done if you overdo it!<br/> <br/> Your son will find ways to do things for himself, but...

Re: typing
<t>The idea of a left handed keyboard seems good, but as soon as you leave home (or your office), and use another computer, you'd be back to square one.<br/> <br/> Blind people use voice recognition software to create messages. Apparently it's very expensive, but excellent. Anyone know the details o...

Re: Amputation
<t>The second worse thing after the pain of an icy-cold arm is the uncontrollable sweating of a hot one. In the heat of Gran Canaria, no BPI arm would be a lot more comfortable. However, you're only 2 years down the line. Perhaps it might be an idea to wait a little longer and see if anything happen...

Re: Driving with one hand
<t>In the UK, no matter how well you can steer with your knees, the police do not accept that you are in proper control of your vehicle. You must have a properly adapted vehicle, and be in control at all times. If you are caught driving without your hand on the wheel (ie: when changing gear, or oper...

Re: Amputation
<t>Mac's Matthew,<br/> thank you for the compliment, but I'm not brave. I feel that this term is losing it's validity somewhat these days. Brave men go into burning buildings to rescue people, or do something above and beyond the normal call of duty. Brave men went into the wreckage of the twin towe...

Re: Amputation
<t>Hello Onepaw. Your reply on the wine corks thread made me laugh.<br/> Anyway, since my amp, I have not had any extra pain whatsoever, and I've lost the ache of subluxion.<br/> It was 5 years between TBPI and chop, and after that amount of time I did not need any counselling. A quick chat with the...

Re: wine corks
