I'm interested in how old that child was when they got the sugery and what the surgery entailed.

You can email me directly if you want

Hi Jenny! Maia didn't have hand surgery but I know a few kids who have had hand surgery -- I'll send them your email ok?
Was wondering how you were and how your son is -- been so long. How do you like California? -francine :)

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".

Hi Jennifer, I too have had hand surgeries two or three depending on what you count for hand surgeries. You can read about my hand surgeries on my website as they will be a lot less painfull for me as typing too much hurts my "good" arm.
My site is www.freewebs.com/bpimn
