1st surgery
1st surgery
Hi. Many of you don't know us, but many do. I haven't been on the boards in a long time. I am Zoe's mother. She is 6 and many of you would know her from the camp in New York several years ago. Well, she is 6 now in 1st grade and doing wonderfully. The only "limitation" she has is her median sensory nerve being so damaged that she bites her thumb to the point that she has no nail left and it's just mostly scar tissue. Recently we found Dr. Borschel in St. Louis that recommended a nerve transfer in her hand. We are grateful because it has become a serious issue especially since she has been biting it for nearly her whole 6 years. She is having to surgery on Oct. 1 at Barnes Children's Hospital in St. Louis, MO so if you all would just keep her in your thoughts on that day I would appreciate it. Thank you so much.

- 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".

Re: 1st surgery
Zoe's surgery went well. Dr. Borschel was pleased. The only problem we encountered was her reaction to the anesthesia. About an hour after waking up she started vommiting every 15 min until 1 am Thursday morn. Then she was back to her self again. We got to come home yesterday and she is back at school today by her request. Thank you for all the thoughts and prayers.
