Paula,
It's one of those abbreviations that when you hear it, you will slap yourself on the side of your head and say, 'duh'!
TBA means 'to be arranged'. The site in this case is not yet decided.

Hi Connie
BPI.... brachial plexus injury
OBPI.... birth injured--- obstetrical brachial plexus injury you are and OBPI/adult because your were injured during birth.
Tbpi.... traumatic brachial plexus injury--- injured via accident... cars, bikes, falls, surgery, etc.
I am an obpi adult -- and I am right arm injured I might write robpi. It took me awhile to figure this all out. I had only heard my injury called Erb's Palsy.
hope this helps
Kath
