Did ya miss me?? Lord, I've been gone so long I couldn't remember my info!! I had to start all brand new and now I've only been a member for one day.
SO not fair, please be advised peoples........I've been round this block a few times, isn't that right Kath.
Well, I'm back and will try to stay around for awhile if you'll have me again. I'm sure I won't be as much help as most here, but I do tend to bring a smile every now and again. Love and kisses and balloons TinaT
Injury Description, Date, extent, surgical intervention etc: 28 years old with a right obstetrical brachial plexus injury. 5 surgeries to date with pretty decent results. Last surgery resolved years of pain in my right arm however, I am beginning my journey with overuse in my left arm
Tina, I dont think we ever talked but I wanted to welcome you back to UBPN and I am glad to see you! Kath has been telling me about you. (All good no worries!)
Hope you stick around!
ps Judy says hi and she missed you. She also misses your chocolate chip banana bread!
Stick around!
Hugs,
Amy 21 years old ROBPI from MN
Tina,
I am so happy you posted. I just got home to my computer and wanted to tell you welcome back. I have really missed you!.....and the bread LOL Judy
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.
Hmmmm so your back... Do you still bake Banana Bread?
WE MISSED YA TINABABY!
I was away but as you know I saw your post. Now back at my computer to tell ya ... you got me voted out of the canoe!
Nancy paddled from the front and Judy from the back and this old girl got to be "Queen"...
Dummy me asked them what do we do with a Bilateral in a canoe... They said "your out". LOL.
Glad to see you hear you add so much to the board.
We need humor and your cheerful outlook.
Love & Hugs and a big Hi Five... Well as hi as we can get.
I REALLY have missed you both, also. To answer the "bread" question............OF COURSE I still make it and have perfected a few new versions......Guess I'll have to send them out for your approval?? How does Cherry Choc Chip Toffee Pecan sound haha Lord, the last time I mentioned my bread I think I ended up mailing out about TWENTY loaves across the states AND pond !!
Sorry to hear you got voted out of the canoe "Queeny" but as you've learned there ARE advantages to being Bilateral !! NOT MANY, but I'll take canoeing lol
So how are both you sexy crips ? Just because I stop emailing you guys doesn't mean YOU should have !! Besides, Judy I have a VERY lame excuse..........I lost your email address when you moved? switched? Kath, you better email ME, because I'm sure I've put your new one in some folder or another and it will take weeks to find. Congrats on the new place though Kath, I know you were dying to get out of that small thang.
Ok, ladies, thank you for not blasting me about lurking and not posting for so long. You KNOW I love you both bunches. Are there many of the other "old timers" still around?? High 5 to you as well Kath, but with me it's about a High 2 1/2 (if i use both arms)lolololololol
P.S. Do I have to close out every time with Tina BI/Sometimes Adult? Seems kind of long drawn out and suggestive to me.... :p

I love the new digs... but you missed a move.
Sold the big house, moved to small apartment until this was ready... Now we are in just the right size place...LOL.
Two moves in one year was more than I could take.
My back and arms are complaining I made them work so hard.
I think they need a vacation... LOL.
