Injury Description, Date, extent, surgical intervention etc: 28 years old with a right obstetrical brachial plexus injury. 5 surgeries to date with pretty decent results. Last surgery resolved years of pain in my right arm however, I am beginning my journey with overuse in my left arm
Thanks every one for the very warm birthday wishes! (even the late ones! It makes the b-day fun last longer)
lol Gayle I think I am the youngest board member all of 20 years old now. At least I am not a teenager any more so all the teen attitude should go away hehe
My evening out with my friends was amazing, I have such great friends!!! I am very nervous to find out how I did on my kinesiology test, I should find out on Monday. Now its the Anatomy test I have in the morning, yikes!!! I have 5 classes and by the end of tomorrow I will have taken 6 exams (4 quizes and two tests)
Thanks again every one!!!
Hugs,
Amy 20 years old ROBPI from MN
(youngest board member)
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.
Happy B-Day Amy sorry I am so late but I did not have internet connection until a few minutes ago.
I'm glad you had a great 20th B-day and wish you many more. Perhaps if we are lucky you will celebrate your 50th as a BOD member and be the longest running board member. LOL...

I got the best news today! I was able to argue two points back on my kinesiology exam and now I have a B-! That was very exciting, I am among 17 that passed the test, the sad part was that there were 15 people who failed, I hope they got some points back too so they at least pass.
Kath, you are too funny! I would love to be the longest running BOD member! 50 is a long time from now! I do hope that I can serve well enough to last that long. We shall see, ubpn will always be a great part, Every one here is so great!
hehe
