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!!!!!

NEW NAME FOR ALL MOTHERS!!
On Oprah's show,Wednesday,I heard a new term describing all you brave tenacious Mother's here on UBPN...Mother Warriors. If any mothers are Warriors, all of you I've met on all Forum Message Boards certainly are WARRIORS!(kinda awkward wording, but you all know what I mean;)!!!

Very true. I'm assuming Oprah was not actually talking about BPI, huh? It would be nice if she would.

Re: NEW NAME FOR ALL MOTHERS!!
No, Oprah had Jenny McCarthy on who wrote a book caled "Mother Warriors" re moms of diferent children with special needs, not just Autism as her son has.
I guess someone needs to write a book about a child/ren with OBPI's...huh.

Re: NEW NAME FOR ALL MOTHERS!!
and you'd have to be famous like Jenny McCarthy, unfortunately. Like the name though. I feel like a Warrior!

Re: NEW NAME FOR ALL MOTHERS!!
You know I thought of that too! I also wrote once into Oprah about BPI. Trying to bring awareness but didn't hear anything. We should try again!!!
