How about an Adult only OBPI retreat?

Post by Judy-T »

I am thinking about getting together in 2014 an adult only OBPI retreat. It would be held in the Orlando,Fl. vicinity. Most airfares would be cheaper in this area. I would like a poll on how many would be interested. It would be in the month of Feb. I have an OBPI doctor who specializes in adults willing to come speak. Please let me know what you think.

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".
