I'm in awe. Sometimes the force of will is simply enough to defeat physical impediments. Also this pretty much eliminates any excuse I might dream up for not accomplishing a task.

Thanks for sharing Neville.

Amazing, it certainly makes any of my excuses for not doing or attempting something seem like just whines.

There is an old 60 Minutes segment about a woman who has a couple of kids and is equally well-adapted to lack of arms. I can't imagine having to go thru life this way, but there are a surprising number of folks who have overcome it.
