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".

Dear Courtney,
Because we L-u-v you and want and wait for your posts, you certainly will make it easy for all of us in the UBPN Family to keep up and follow your Recovery Journey. It is also a wonderful,easy place for you to answer alot of question we may have. Everything you share is a learning experience for me...& may be for others too.

OK, ready for questions?? I sure learned about muscles and arteries suppling them. Thank You and I hope you have a calm day today. I sure would love to ride in your Sebring! What Color is it?

HUGS, HUGS, HUGS! ;)
