    I agree.
    Worst-case scenario - do what I did - twist the handlebar off-centre to accomodate the unstraightenable arm. Looks silly but you get used to it. And of course *anything* (incl looking silly or having asymmetrical bars)) is better than not riding at all.

    It does take *time* but as long as you are making positive progress no matter how little or even just not regressing you are On The Way
    Also take pain meds in quantity.Keep it warm too and also hydro-therapy or showers. I also brushed it a lot with one of those soft-ish back scrubber brushes to stimulate both the circulation and the nerves.

    Well done saving the jacket. I piked and told them to cut off my almost-brand-new sports bra which they couldn't seem to figure out its velcro/scotch straps and front fastening .They kept trying to turn me over to find some regular hook and eye fastening; all the while trying not to notice the mono-tit on the one side and not lose the silicon prosthetic on the other side at the same time!!
