There used to be a very cheerful bilateral obpi called Tina that used post here. I used to follow her postings as I have a similar injury although mine is traumatic. Anybody got any updates, or did she just stop posting.

I still hear from Tina and she stopped posting...
I guess life got too hectic and she is still cheerful and funny.

When I get a chance I will write to her and send her you e-mail if you would like and maybe she will contact you.
I am sure you could use the contact.

that would be great Kath. Good to hear she is in good form.

Hello Aurelia,

I'm backkkkkkkkkkk Thank you for missing me.

And Thank you Kath, for still thinking me "cheerful and funny". I would prefer svelte sexy and young, but I'll take funny.

All excuses aside I haven't been as "hectic" as lazy....... It feel strange to be back here after so long. I barely recognize anyone. I'll try to stay around for awhile this time. Tina the cheerful one

Hello there Tina,

Good to hear from you, there are so few bilateral peeps on the board, I get worried if they disappear for a while.

Thought you might have won the lotto or something but things sound good with you anyhow.

Tina
I will think of you as sexy and slim... If you will still think of me as ten years younger... LOL...
Notice I don't post my age anymore? It's depressing to do that, I prefer to pretend that I'm as young as I feel.
OK... as young as I would like to feel.

Kath,
I am sooo proud to have the staying power to still be here and I have earned every gray hair.

Tina, I would love to meet you--if you ever remember your "old Login" let me know so I can read some of your posts.

HUgs,

Hi! Welcome back to the boards!

My husband and I are raising a bilaterally-injured firecracker of a little girl (18 months old). (Firecracker may be too mild... we love her spunk!)

If you think of any advice, unique to helping a bilaterally-injured child, I would be grateful to you for sharing! I learn so much on these boards!

Again, welcome back!

Well Tina can give advice because she's a firecracker.

All bpi children need to develop a good sense of humor.
I have not met a bpi injured who cannot laugh at themself and find humor in so many things that happen to us.

Like I always say when someone asks what OBPI stands for:

One Bright, Persistent Individual!!! (Then I educate them, but I think my definition describes Aria better than the medical one!!!)
