to those of you that have been following my situation, i just found out that the Texas Department of Assistive and Rehabilitative Services is going to help me get an arm!!!

it took a year and a half of letter writing, disputes, phone calls, visits, assessments, etc, etc, etc, but i am finally getting my arm!!!

i'm can't put into words, how happy i am! just wanted to share.






PS-F$%K Blue Cross/Blue Shield. They didn't help me at all. flat out refused to help me. Motherf$%kers.....

Good to hear that Grimm meister. That opens up a few more doors of advantage for you. while I have no doubt you can ride that machine with one arm I know you feel better about having 2! Congrats again and good luck.

Keep us posted.

Thats great to hear Grimm. You will be able to hold an adult beverage while riding now. Just kidding. BC/BS has covered everything for me so far. I am knocking on wood. Still like those tires.

yeah, it'll feel good to have two arms holding on, again.

BC/BS wouldn't cover the prosthesis my shoulder specialist prescribed. despite all the medicals advancements and amazing things they have out, they won't cover anything but an old fashioned body powered prosthesis, even though it's been proven that i don't have the range of motion necessary to effectively operate a body powered device. BC/BS denied my claim even after appealing the decision and providing documentation from my doctors. i'm glad BC/BS worked out for you, but they let me down.

anyway, rant over. i'll be sporting a badass myoelectric device that will be able to detect slight muscle movements and convert them to electrical signals that'll control what the arm does. the coolest. you can call me vader.....
