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".

I'll see you all there. I've had my TBPI for 11 years, but just found this group a few months back.

Thanks for arranging a gathering!

ARGGGGG! I am so bummed we missed it again. Something must be wrong with my email because I didn't get any messages. We will be coming down to South Center on Thursday to pick up Tara's brother.
Meeting you is SO very important to my daughter, so please don't give up on me yet.

Thanks!

Brenda, mom to Tara with LOBPI

Brenda,
I'm sorry we missed you too. We'll just have to have a picnic soon. I think Julia and Peggy F are planning one before school starts. Hopefully.

"Wilard", Bob, are you up for a picnic?
