We are back online
UBPN is, after a downtime of little more than five weeks, back online.
To tell you what happened in as short an explanation as possible, we had both the primary and backup hard drives fail at the same time. An unlucky occurrence. Both of the drives had to be replaced in order to bring the server back online and recovering data from the failed drives was painstakingly slow. We have tested the new drives and software and believe we are ready now.
We apologize to those who relied upon our message boards on a daily basis. We are glad to be back.
A hearty thank you is extended to Ryan McClune, who has spent countless hours doing the tedious work of getting us functioning again.
Nancy Birk
UBPN President

- 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.
