How did Hannah (and mommy) do with the surgery?
Our family has been thinking of you.

- 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: Beth - how is Hannah?
Beth,
I hope you had the best possible experience. We were thinking of you the same day when our daughter was also in surgery. We thought our Hannah would have numerous avulsed nerves, with some beyond repair. We had been told she would never regain any movement in her hand and at best might only be able to bend her arm. It turned out that all the nerves are somewhat torn, but do all have a connection between each one. Now we can be much more hopeful. I hope your Hannah and your family are doing well. Please let us know, when you get a chance.
My thoughts and prayers are with you,
The other Beth with a Hannah, from CA

Beth (anotherbpimom),
You are who this post was originally addressed to! I'm so glad to hear your little Hannah's nerves weren't avulsed. That's so encouraging!!!!
There is another Beth and Hannah on this site? My goodness! I hope the other Hannah's surgery went well, also!

Re: Beth - how is Hannah?
Mica and Carolyn,
Thanks for the inquiry. I appreciate your support and concern. It does mean a lot! -And helps a lot too. I was really comforted throughout our hospital experience knowing that if I had any questions or concerns I had a great support group to help me. You guys are great!! There IS another Beth with a Hannah with OBPI who also had surgery on the same day as our Hannah... Pretty weird! I have not seen her post anything since then and hope she and her family are doing well.

Re: Beth - how is Hannah?
Beth from CA and Mica,
I recently read somewhere, the other Beth with a daughter Hannah lives in Georgia. I'm hoping Beth from GA sees this and posts how her Hannah is doing since her surgery.
HUGS to everyone today,
