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.

I broke my left CP leg...[remember I have a "combo" injury, OBPI on upper and mild CP on leg and foot]. I am mending well but I must stay homebound to recieve HomeHealth Service of Bath aide, OT & PT. I am getting alot of neat help for my OBPI from both PT & OT. I guess it takes a broken leg at age 72 to get what I've always needed. I DIFINITELY will be using a Quad Cane when i'm out of my cast.

Blessed Passover and Happy Easter to ALL of my UBPN Family,
