    Default I'm back and left :P

    Howdy GunSiters,

    Been a while... was in a hectic car crash and do no longer have full use of my right arm. 3 months in hospital sucks BTW... I was in a coma for a month and a bit... woke up thinking it had been over 6 months of pure hell! I do not recommend this as a fun way to get out of work for a bit

    But I'm back, really need to get to a range and see how I'll cope with the little disability... dying to get some shooting done though!

    Play nice,
    Gunna!

    Sorry to hear. I hope you recover quickly. Speaking as a surgeon - I cannot recommend physiotherapy, OT and biokineticists more during this phase of your rehab. Finding someone with an interest in your specific disability would be beneficial.

    I had 2 sessions of physio, 2/3 sessions of OT every day while I was in rehab. The physio was unbelievably painful but did seem to make a difference. The plastic surgeon has suggested a nerve transplant to get the shoulder and bicep working again. Now just to get Discovery on board with forking out more cash for the new tests that they want to get done.

    Thanks for all the well wishes guys... small improvements are occurring so hoping they continue ;)
