- 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.

- 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".

Hey everyone, it's been awhile, huh?
Well, everything is going well. But as Jack gets bigger I'm noticing it's getting harder and I have to find new ways of adjusting. Breastfeeding while laying on my side works well, and boppys are lifesavers. But wow I'm already feelin' it on days in my non BPI arm.
I've found bathing with him is the easiest and safest way to do things. That way I'm not afraid I'm going to drop him and I can rest him on my leg.
Overall, it's not as tough or as scary as I thought it would be. And I have such an appreciation for anyone who has twins.

Re: Traci--Veggiebug having your baby soon?
I never got to congratulate you on the birth of your son. I know how you feel though. In the beginning when I had the twins it was a real puzzle to figure out how to do certain things. The boppy and laying down were great for me too and I also found that the football hold helped a lot too. But as you go you'll find lots of ways to compensate. My twins are now 17 mo. and I am still constantly looking for and finding new ways to deal with everyday issues. If you ever want to chat with someone who has been there you are more than welcome to email me. Congrats again.
