- 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.

How exciting... I am sure Elizabeth will do everything necessary to make this operation a huge success. I keep her hand in my prayers and soon hope to hear great healing.
Louise, when I was small and my hand and fingers did not work, they did not have formal therapy for kids like us.,
My mother made me take piano lessons. I hated them because it was hard to press the keys and I was about 5 or 6 when they started. I took them on and off for years and still can't play but she then pushed me into taking typing lessons and I had to learn to type two handed. UGH... she was so mean... LOL... NOT!!!!! I hope Miss Elizabeth's therapy is much easier.
The end result is that I can use my hand and touch type with all my fingers. She was right and I'm sorry I gave her such a rough time about all the therapy... LOL...

- 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.
