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".
There is NO SUCH THING AS A DUMB QUESTION.

Well, back from the whirlwind trip from FL to OH to go with my niece to the Cinci Neurologist. Very kid friendly, informative female neurologist. Excellent with Ashley. She is thorough and has ordered a brain MRI, Physical and Occupational Therapy evaluations/treatment and a neuropschyolgy eval. that will provide a wealth of information regarding Ash's processing, sequencing, memory, etc. skills. Not to mention if ADHD is even in question like the pediatrician so rapidly diagnosed without any testing whatsoever! I think we are on the right track!
