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".
There is NO SUCH THING AS A DUMB QUESTION.

I would have taken that little girl home that I played with at the orphanage but they are not up for adoption. Not sure why but we asked and they said no way. I will probably adopt someday but I would like a bpi kid (hopefully there wont be any more bpi kids by the time I am ready to adopt.) but if there is, thats who I want.

Those kiddos are so darn cute, it was very hard to leave them behind. We could have spent days playing with them.
A trip to be remembered!
