- 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.

- 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: HAPPY BIRTHDAY KATHLEEN
Thanks for all the good wishes.
I had a great birthday with Chocolate cake and my family. I got a Wii for my birthday and have been enjoying playing Zelda.
I've had to rest this week because I had surgery the day after Nov.11... I had a keratoacanthoma with a squamous cell underneath soooo the doctor preformed Mohl surgery and I have to stay off my feet as much as possible until the stitches are removed next Thursday.
Boy is it boring laying around or sitting around... ugh... But I guess I am entitled...after all I did celebrate the 19th Anniversary of my 50th Birthday...
Yikes... I can't believe it...
thanks again all
