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".

I'm home!!

I had a "Rennasance" 5 days...a VERY fab time; saw Bette Midler..Are YOU jealous yet?? tee hee...
Las Vegas IS the place to go to have a good time & "break from REALITY" !! :0

I did not allow anyone to have cameras.that's why I had such a great time! ;)

I still highly recommend going out of reality there!!
No,... I left all my money there:(

Carolyn,

Yes I am jealous, we saw Bette when she was here in Tacoma in 94. It was our moving gift to ourselves. We moved a week after we saw her.

So glad your trip to Vegas was everything you were looking for.

Hugs, Karen

Thank you ,dear UBPN Family.
I caught a cold/viral bug on return home flight. :(

I'm only on the computer a few minutes a day until my body "catches healthy" again.

My money & Voice stayed in LV!
