People with OBPI:

For a few years, I have posted many opinions on UBPN. And, for the life of me can not understand why people whine so much about BPI. I can understand that it is a traumatic event. However, how many years does it take to start living your life. It's easy to whine and have people take pity. But, why not be proactive. Learn about OBPI, the ways to adapt, share the knowledge, and be honest.

ASC is right,
There is to a number of new comers posting and the newly injured and other just trying to get direction to try to learn how to adapt some how whining ends when you find a direction to adapt, It takes time
Depression is part of why people whine, I guess???
Whining really ends when you find a way to adapt your way in life with or without surgery, Absolute fact tenacity and the next way to adapt happens,
I have never learn so much by posts here and the others posting to try to help, others need to think about responding more
My motto is , Iam less depress when I try to adapt to something to do, When I try and thing dont work out it is to our benefit to remember all the other things we have learn to adapt to
Sooner or latter the pity party ends and Tenacity begin overtime, It is learned for sure by so many posting here
I know mr positive

everyone is in their own "place". BPI's take a BIG emotional toll nd every person travels their own pace in their "Journey" living with multiple secondary injuries as we age too. this injury cannot be "generalized" like SOME other birth injuries.

No two people react the same to trauma. One person can get up and go on their merry way while their identical twin may take several years to adjust. Everyone is different.

Your both right to me
Trying to move someone forwards to try and never give up is learn at anyones rate to adapt , from a birth injury to latter in life injury to:roll:
When you find your self mess up in both arms you end up , with double the task to adapt
It amazing how we move other forward by example of our post.
We find ways to adapt by how creative we are with the we come up with overtime by so many post here ,
Its always the first step the idea to try or invent something in
I think that our injuries are not the same but trying to overcome in life by our ways to adapt overtime is, by so many posts no matter when they happen
Just thinking,
Tom
