Pictures?

Post by admin »

Is there a place to post pictures of all of us? For those of us who have never had the chance to attend a meeting or event, it'd be great to see the faces of those who chat on this forum. I've never seen anyone else with a BP injury like mine. I think it would be a mental help to see someone just like me.

Injury Description, Date, extent, surgical intervention etc: I am ROBPI, global injury, Horner's Syndrome. No surgery but PT started at 2 weeks old under the direction of New York Hospital. I wore a brace 24/7 for the first 11 months of my life. I've never let my injury be used as an excuse not to do something. I've approach all things, in life, as a challenge. I approach anything new wondering if I can do it. I tried so many things I might never have tried, if I were not obpi. Being OBPI has made me strong, creative, more determined and persistent. I believe that being obpi has given me a very strong sense of humor and compassion for others.

This will allow you to see the faces of many bpi people who post on the forms.

That's because there aren't any more!
I ran out of steam, so to speak. I'll have to fix that last page so that it doesn't have a false link.

I think this is a good idea and the Board of Directors are looking into how we can put up a page or pages with photos. We'll explore options and get back to you.

Thanks Erica for a good idea.
