- 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: Camp Info
Yep...thats one thing I'm really looking forward to, seeing mountains again! It's something we don't really have in England, (Scotland has more than a few and we will go up there one day and take a look) but the ones in NZ are pretty spectacular.
Me and Neil are going to try and combine the camp with an extended trip in the mountains...any suggestions from the locals there for 'must see' places? or places to stay? All suggestions will be gratefully receieved. Please feel free to email me BlcE@aol.com
Cheers!
I feel a Bob Ross moment coming on!!

Dear LizyB
Also, Mt St. Helen's is great to see the post volcano growth & wildlife re-turns. Mt. St H's is just 1 & 1/2 hr. drive "down the road" from Camp 2007 area. Just "goggle" Mt St. Helen's--there is a 'State of the Arts' Johnson Observation Center nearest to there that is F-a-bulous!!

- 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.
