- Injury Description, Date, extent, surgical intervention etc: LOBPI. I am 77 yrs old and never had a name for my injuries until 2004 when I found UBPN at age 66.
My injuries are: LOBPI on upper body and Cerebrael Palsy on the lower left extremities. The only intervention I've had is a tendon transplant from my left leg to my left foot to enable flexing t age 24 in 1962. Before that, my foot would freeze without notice on the side when wearing heels AND I always did wear them at work "to fit in" I also stuttered until around age 18-19...just outgrew it...no therapy for it. Also suffered from very very low self esteem; severe Depression and Anxiety attacks started at menopause. I stuffed emotions and over-compensated in every thing I did to "fit in" and be "invisible". My injuries were Never addressed or talked about until age 66. I am a late bloomer!!!!!
I welcome any and all questions about "My Journey".

Re: Wecome, Lauren

Re: Wecome, Lauren
Lauren,
Don't worry, 1st names are OK and Safe. We don't know your last name. Our UBPN Boards are well monitored by our Board of Directors also.If you click on my name you will be able to email me and ask your questions privately if you wish. There is some more information that is on the "General" Messages too if yoou keep reading through the list of Topics.
When I first found this web site I would "lose" 3-4 hours easy so I would set my oven timer to take a break at least every hour and not over load myself with information.
