3c33 Posted September 2, 2014 Report Share Posted September 2, 2014 (edited) Well as some of already know (and for those of you that don't), I have been recovering from a bad motorcycle accident that happened in October of '12. Said accident left me a quadriplegic etc. etc. Anyway, my most recent endeavor in my recovery was a surgery to repair my locked right arm / elbow on the 25th. Said arm has been in a cast the past week to properly heal post operation. I got the cast off today at my follow-up appointment. Also at that appointment, I learned the doctor not only didn't do what was supposed to be done in the surgery, but in the process of what he did do, he caused massive nerve damage (more then likely permanent) to my lower arm which has left my forearm, hand, and fingers with very little to no feeling and extremely limited movement. This means that I am incapacitated as far as video games go unless I feel patient enough to try and play with one hand to do both mouse and controls. I'll still be around as much as I can and I'll try to hop on from time to time to minecraft / mumble if I'm feeling up to it. I also have another (unrelated) surgery scheduled for the 11th too, so who knows what will go wrong with that.... Thanks for everyone's support and granting me modship Sorry I won't be able to fulfill my mod duties any time soon :/ ~3c33 __________________________ Edit: So as painstakingly time-consuming and frustrating it is to use one hand, I've been trying to the best of my ability and have been regularly on despite what I previously said.

weenus Posted September 2, 2014 Report Share Posted September 2, 2014 (edited) There is nohandsken who streams gaming and his gaming setup is something he uses with his mouth.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XrMivdZ-mbIMaybe you can look into getting something similar to compensate for the loss, it seems like there's an industry out there that applies these tools to gaming, just gotta track them down and they might have a better idea of something that will work for your situation.Really sorry to hear about all of that. I hope they take care of you because it sounds like that Doctor blew it immensely. I hope things take a better turn for you.

3c33 Posted September 2, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 2, 2014 (edited) Yes I am well aware of adaptive technology and it does not interest me at this point. And while I technically am a quadriplegic (determined by the level of my spinal cord injury) , up until this point I had fairly moderate use of my arms and hands minus the previously locked elbow. Thank you however, for your suggestions. Edited September 2, 2014 by 3c33 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
