I just realized that existed. I wonder how we can get 4 or 5 people online at the same time to actually use it?

I haven't been on in months, but see that this is a cool feature of the new layout. So how about we just pick a time, like I'll say i'll be here tomorrow starting at 5am central time. I will stay logged in for a while and see what happens. If any one reads this it would be great to talk to you there. Otherwise I will also log in at 7 pm. So that would be 4/28 at 5 am and 7 pm, hope to catch u then.

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".
