United Brachial Plexus Network, Inc.

Hi all...wow..it's been a very long tme for me. I took a couple years sabbatical for a bit of "mental health" reasons, and also to re-focus our lives somewhat...I started a brachial plexus support group in Western Canada after my daughter Dani was injured during her birth...I haven't been actively involved for the last 3 years as a number of things had happened that forced me to take on more than I could manage...so after some soul searching I walked away...a bit cowardly..but self preservation is costly sometimes. Dani has had 2 surgeries....both were a success in terms of where she was when she started.....I am very proud of the leaps and bounds she has taken. She's now 8 yrs old. She is playing ball and LOVES her horseback riding lessons. Her confidence level has improved greatly this year, compared to others. I almost feel like she's come to terms with how she perceives her capabilities and where she sets her own goals/limits. Anyway...just wanted to let all that I used to chat with, share sadnesses, triumphs, helpful hints ect, that I'm back. I'm a little bit more reserved in my involvement, as time allows...Looking forward to seeing familiar names, and meeting new ones. All the best...Kimba :>

Welcome back Kimba and thanks for sharing all of your good news.

I think we all need a rest from the intense stress that too much involvement can create in our lives. Glad you decided to come back...

Hiya again Kim...we do come down quite often, infact we were just there.......Ash had surgery with Dr. Reilly and recently Dr. Verchure removed a scar which is why we were there. My sis lives in Steveston so we are down at least every 2 months! I'll let ya know next time we're on our way. Ash would love to meet Dani as I would aslo....and you too!!! Lenni

Thank you Kath!
I didn't see this reply until now, as I updated my profile and logged in today for the 1st time in years.
Hugs,

Hi Lenni,
Long time!
How are You & Ashley doing?
Taking a peek into the forums to see what/who is new in terms of members, surgeries etc.
PM if you feel like chatting.
