It's very cool that you were able to learn to re-use your arms. You appear to be in good spirits too. You are a good example to many.
My son will probably never have control over his body, but his condition is a brain malformation. Fortunately for him, he's never known any different so he's the happiest kid you'll ever hope to meet, regardless of whatever typical things he can't do.
I'm pretty fond of him.
