Bilateral obpi
Bilateral obpi
There used to be a very cheerful bilateral obpi called Tina that used post here. I used to follow her postings as I have a similar injury although mine is traumatic. Anybody got any updates, or did she just stop posting.

- 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.

Re: Bilateral obpi
I still hear from Tina and she stopped posting...
I guess life got too hectic and she is still cheerful and funny.
When I get a chance I will write to her and send her you e-mail if you would like and maybe she will contact you.
I am sure you could use the contact.

Re: Bilateral obpi
Hello Aurelia,
I'm backkkkkkkkkkk Thank you for missing me.
And Thank you Kath, for still thinking me "cheerful and funny". I would prefer svelte sexy and young, but I'll take funny.
All excuses aside I haven't been as "hectic" as lazy....... It feel strange to be back here after so long. I barely recognize anyone. I'll try to stay around for awhile this time. Tina the cheerful one

Hello there Tina,
Good to hear from you, there are so few bilateral peeps on the board, I get worried if they disappear for a while.
Thought you might have won the lotto or something but things sound good with you anyhow.

I will think of you as sexy and slim... If you will still think of me as ten years younger... LOL...
Notice I don't post my age anymore? It's depressing to do that, I prefer to pretend that I'm as young as I feel.
OK... as young as I would like to feel.

- 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".

Hi! Welcome back to the boards!
My husband and I are raising a bilaterally-injured firecracker of a little girl (18 months old). (Firecracker may be too mild... we love her spunk!)
If you think of any advice, unique to helping a bilaterally-injured child, I would be grateful to you for sharing! I learn so much on these boards!
Again, welcome back!

Well Tina can give advice because she's a firecracker.
All bpi children need to develop a good sense of humor.
I have not met a bpi injured who cannot laugh at themself and find humor in so many things that happen to us.

Like I always say when someone asks what OBPI stands for:
One Bright, Persistent Individual!!! (Then I educate them, but I think my definition describes Aria better than the medical one!!!)
