Hi Pezza, do you have a bpi or your child? it depends on the severity of the bpi but if you havent seen a neurologist that could help. I wish you all the best, keep on the mesage boards cause they really help.

Hi Pezza,

My son underwent Primary Surgery under Dr Keith Mutimer's care in 2002. Dr Mutimer has his own clinic in Brighton, Melbourne, although the surgery was performed at RCH. Pls feel free to email me should you wish to find out more info.

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".
