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".

Yes!

I typically sign on around 7 PST, Mel typically signs on earlier since she is in EST. Other people jump on and off throughout the evening, but we are the regulars :)

Sorry I've missed you all the last few weeks. Had some other stuff going on so .....my bad. I sign on at random points during the day trying to catch someone on chat, but never do. I've missed the Weds nights though. I'll hopefully make it again soon.
Robert - LTBPI/34/AL - Yamaha meets Ford Expedition....not good.
