Hey guys, I just made my first website and want your input. It is for the Judo Club I belong to. I am a big advocate of judo for BPi's because it is very easy for us to do as it is mostly grappling, tugging, pulling etc..
I am the psycho looking brown belt on the member's page.(I was being asked a question while the camera shuttered, and was trying to conceal my double chin at the same time.)
Anyway, let me know what you think.

- Injury Description, Date, extent, surgical intervention etc: RTBPI - injured during a right cervical rib resection on 12/3/2008 for thoracic outlet syndrome. The doctor completely transected the lateral cord at C5-C6 Erb's pointe and the suprascapular nerve. Had a nerve repair done on 12/12/2008 to reattach the nerves. Did two years of OT. I have some issues with overuse issues with my left shoulder and also have come to find that my joints are hypermobile so I have instability in the joints which causes a lot of problems such as pressure and pain.

Re: Judo Club
Hey,
I have a RTBPI and am in a lot of pain right now still (just happened in Dec 08).
I want to get active though and do something. I have been pretty scared though as moving around a lot aggravates my pain. I keep hearing martial arts is good though... do you think you could expand upon it at all. Does it help with muscle strengthening or coordination in affected arm? Is it something I should wait much longer before trying? Etc.
Thanks

Re: Judo Club
Dude, that is something you will have to ask your doctor, I can only tell you that before I even attempted judo, I'd make sure that I was completely healed and pain free. Judo is as tough a sport as you can do, and if you stick with it, you will definately get strength training. I'd just make sure I was as healed up as possible before even getting started, and I'd make sure I asked my doctor.

- 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.

- 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.
