- 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".

"Does a triangle tilt ever have to repeated and if so, why? [back to top]
No. "

Good point. Too bad some surgeons refuse to admit that fact.

Re: Redoing triangle tilt
Hi. So sorry to hear about having to re-do the TT! Ug! I can't imagine! Vallen had her TT 16 months ago, June of 06. She has grown 5 inches since than! I know I can't keep up! We only had her in the splint for 3 months post surgery, as was the protocol at the time. We have seen Dr. Nath twice since surgery. Just again 4 weeks ago. She has not regressed at all, and is doing AMAZING! Therapy was crucial after to regain strength, and I admit I was worried for quite a while. But she is doing great now. Just turned 9. I don't regret it. I'm sorry you are faced with such a tough decision. I will be thinking of you.

Dear Raina,
I saw your post on a thread that I also replied to, and it reminded me of what a terrific help you were for our family when we found out my son, Zack needed the TT. You took the time to provide me w/ detailed information and I want to say Thank You once again. It's been a busy year, but I'll never forget the support I received from other BPI Moms such as yourself. Glad to hear that your daughter is doing well.
