Got mine today. Nice job folks! Very interesting article about Dr Price. I had no idea his sister had a bpi. It's amazing how this injury changes peoples lives in such a positive way.

- 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.

Re: Outreach sightings yet?
Yeah!!! We got ours (Southern California). I'm also in it. Check out Joshua's and my picture on page 15. Wow, we're famous and published too. If you want my autograph (since I'm so famous), you can send money to my people.
On a serious note, I hope my answers to the questions help in some way to someone out there.

- 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.

It is great to read about the Fathers feelings.
So often is all about the child and the Mom's and the father's seem to be left out.
It is so important.
Now for the money.... do you have an Agent and what's his cut? LOL..
