- 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".

- 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.

no external rotation against gravity, can only go to 90 degree fwd flexion, no hand-to-mouth
1 surgery at age 14 (latissimus dorsi transfer). In 2004, at age 28 I was struck with Transverse Myelitis which paralyzed me from the chest down. I recovered movement to my right leg, but need a KAFO to walk on my left leg. I became an RN in 2008. - Location: Montreal, Qc, Canada

Re: Camp UBPN 2007
hehe, I would bring Poutine (very typical Quebec dish) but it really does not travel well... mind you I could bring the parts to make it, all I need are fries there... (the rest is brown sauce, but good sauce and curd cheese) YUMMERS!
LOL, in any case I will find something Canadian and Montreal to bring!

Re: Camp UBPN 2007
OK all,
I really hate to have to tell you this, as much as I love the idea, the camp, infact no camp, will let us bring in our own food and cook it. They don't even want us to bring in any food except snacks. The camp could get there license taken away. This is for health safety.
Traci when I first read you post, I was so excited and then after talking with Nancy she reminded me about the laws and food. Sorry guys. That Friday night would of been ideal. I had it all mapped out in my head. Oh well.
Hugs, Karen
