Hang in there pat. It is definately not motivating staying at home and not working. Not sure I mentioned this before, I'm not crafty by any means so I was definately going crazy too. What to do what to do.

- 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.

of us has to decide for ourselves quality of life vs. quanity, at each stage of our life. Sharing on this board has added quality to mine and I can't wait to meet you all at Camp 2005.(I'm 65 now and worked from 20-59 A@ 150% and my body paid for it).
