Awareness Items for Sale

Post by Jennifer P »

Some of us were talking here http://ubpn.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=17&t=34643 and thought it would be a good idea to post the form for the awareness items only available through the magazine. I've attached an image that you can download and print to mail in if you are interested in any of them (ribbon car magnet, bracelet, zipper pulls, et al.).

Oh! I didn't know this stuff was actually available online. The links aren't very clear on the menu because there is a sub-menu for amazon/cafepress under it.

Considering that, we can delete this topic if you want!

Injury Description, Date, extent, surgical intervention etc: I am ROBPI, global injury, Horner's Syndrome. No surgery but PT started at 2 weeks old under the direction of New York Hospital. I wore a brace 24/7 for the first 11 months of my life. I've never let my injury be used as an excuse not to do something. I've approach all things, in life, as a challenge. I approach anything new wondering if I can do it. I tried so many things I might never have tried, if I were not obpi. Being OBPI has made me strong, creative, more determined and persistent. I believe that being obpi has given me a very strong sense of humor and compassion for others.

My grand-kids all have one we bought... :lol:

I wear my pewter pin all year round on my right side. I bought one for all of my kids and they all have the car magnets on their cars.

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".
There is NO SUCH THING AS A DUMB QUESTION.
