Confrontations?

<t>This may seem really petty and juvenile, but I was wondering has anyone ever found the doctor that delivered them and confronted him or her? <br/> <br/> I've always wanted to see the person, who did this to me. I went to law school in Boston, where I was born. (I grew up and live in Houston, TX) ...

Re: Small Obstacles

<t>Usually with a group photo, I'll but my left arm behind someone so that you can't see it. All of the light fixtures in my house are missing the domes covering the bulbs! I hate trying to curl the back of my hair with a curling iron. I hold the mirror in my left hand and with the right try to "gui...

Re: Self esteem post,......Wow.

Re: It's the not knowing that gets you...

<t>I completely understand. I've never stopped to think how difficult it must be for a mother, being that I am the daughter. My parents raised me with a can do attitude. Unfortunately, I never really talked about my injury to any one, I wish I did. Talk to your daughter. I think it's ok to get angry...

new to site!

<r>Hi everyone! My name is Elissa (pronounced A-lee-sa) and I literally stumbled across this site. I've always known that I had a brachial plexus, but NEVER knew or realized that there was a whole web site dedicated to it! I was recently told that I may have a curvature in my spine due to my injury....
