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".

yea I use to ride the intermedate group also at Seattle raceway and Portland .There is nothing better than draggin a knee .When I would leave the track I was on top of the world I love to go fast.But I guess that's what got me here,execpt it was not my fault.When they tried to fix me ,my wife told me while in the recovery room I kept telling them I want to go fast.I've been thinking about getting a Yamaha fjr 1300 ,it has no clutch .I would love to go around the outside of my friends with no arm but my wifE does not like it when I bring it up.

Even with the clutch it isn't bad... But your right, you get off the track, and you feel golden.

You name your vehicles too!? My scooter's name is Saloni. It's an Indian name meaning "cute."

(I say scooter all the time, but it's actually a motorcycle...hangin' tough...)
