Being Thankful

Post by Humboldtmtnbkr »

I just wanted to let everyone know who participates how thankful I have been for this website. Luckily, I have healed and moved on from this devistating injury, but during the first year it was not known what would happen. Anyway, I just wanted to say thanks for sharing and stay motivated to be an inspiration, because you are.

Happy Thanksgiving, JJ

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".

I am extremely Thankful for this UBPN Family.
Thank You all Families who have allowed me to adopt your children as "MY GRANDS" 'cause I don't have any of my own.. my dear Angel of a son, Scott, isn't married yet.

I am Thankful for all the information ,knowledge and experience everyone...including the Traumatically BP Injured... you all have shared and lightened my Journey. I keep you all close to my heart.

HAPPY THANKSGIVING TO EVERYONE!
