I dont know if it is because of the recent hysterectomy but I have done nothing but boohoo for the past couple of days.
It could also be because Maggie is about to turn 6 in a few weeks and I know she isnt my baby anymore. I have never gotten the OMG this is the day all hell broke loose but it has only been a year since I found these support groups.
I think finding these support groups has brought out some inner feelings that I kept locked away, which I think is a good thing.
Sorry about the boohoo post I just knew I had to post here where others knew what I was going through, Thanks

- 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 can't believe you didn't mention this on the phone the other day!! I am so sorry that you are feeling blue. You really have been hit so hard this past year with all the stuff going on in your life! I hope that things will pick up and that you can find joy in so many things that it will help you forget the pain of the past!
Blessings,
