Mare,
Your DH sounds exactly like mine. Stores are his worst nightmare. I am sorry that you broke your coffee pot, that must be a bummer. I don't drink coffee so I cannot sypathize with that one. But there better be a cold diet pepsi in the fridge when I get up or the day is shot !!! LOL !! Hope that by now you got a coffee pot and your feeling a little better !!!! GAYLE

Got the results from the biopsy and the lumps were not cancer. I do however have to have them checked every 6 months. What a relief now if only I could make the Transverese Myelities go away and the coffee pot to work,or is that just asking to much.

Injury Description, Date, extent, surgical intervention etc: I am ROBPI, global injury, Horner's Syndrome. No surgery but PT started at 2 weeks old under the direction of New York Hospital. I wore a brace 24/7 for the first 11 months of my life. I've never let my injury be used as an excuse not to do something. I've approach all things, in life, as a challenge. I approach anything new wondering if I can do it. I tried so many things I might never have tried, if I were not obpi. Being OBPI has made me strong, creative, more determined and persistent. I believe that being obpi has given me a very strong sense of humor and compassion for others.

Glad to hear the good news about your lumps...

But still no Coffee pot? I have a husband who does not shop but doing without his coffee would never happen! He would never function without his morning coffee.

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.

Mare,

I'm so glad that your biopsy results were negative. What a relief for you!

I'm not a coffee drinker, but I guess you'd better get a new coffeepot ASAP.

Ok DH finally decide he was tired of running to dunkin dounuts for his morning coffee and just left with my brother in law to buy me a car and a coffee pot lets see what he comes home with. Frankie is betting on the Jack Russle puppy he saw at the pet store last week his died last yr and he misses him, but unless he can make coffee he's not staying. Mare

No coffee... No Puppy... LOL...

Let's hope you have some coffee at home today.
You need the car if we are ever to get together for lunch. Let's hope at least by July.
