- 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: AMY...RE Diaper Changing....question...
lol no problem.
Aidan and I had long talks and he was really good for me most of the time! With the icky diapers I would get most of the poo off then have him lay on his side and clean up the rest of the way. Then the new diaper... I did the tab on my right side first by getting it where I wanted it then trying to hold with my thumb and grab the sticky tab to pull over and stick. Then on to the tab on my left and then readjust the right. and then let him play for a while then dress him. That seemed to work the best.
Hope that made sense! Thanks for all the tips that I got from every one before surgery!!!

I am very much happy being an auntie right now, I am so not ready to be a mommy, I could do it if something were to happen but I dont want to do it right now, to many places to go and people to see! Oh and homework to be done 
Only 3 and a half years until I graduate and can take the state tests!

Amy

Re: AMY...RE Diaper Changing....question...
bumping this one too as it better states what I did. Although I do remember adding one more thing to my long talks with him and that was my sister had a strip of fleece blanket that I draped across his tummy and help him down by putting the ends of the blanket under my legs. That lessoned the squirming a bit.
