Gee Emily C, of all the injuries to score that's not such a good one. I wish you well in recovering as much as. Meanwhile, I'll take extra care with my own transfers.

Emily,

I was searching the internet looking for information on Brachial Plexus and saw your posting. My Fiance was in an accident and did a pretty good number on himself. He is unable to move his arm at all, well minus a slight flinching of 2 fingers. I am so sorry to hear about the problems are having
