Anyone from california

[joseph]

Is anybody here from california? I need to start a support group or somthing. I am going crazy obssesing about the whole OBPI thing. I don't know if i'm in denial or what but I need somebody to talk to who understands what I'm going through as a parent to Joseph, 9 months OBPI. I know this is kinda what these forums are for but I need more than just a cold computer to stare at. So, if there is anybody from california interested in maybe starting a support group, please let me know.

I know there is one support group in CA. There is one in Southern CA !! I think there might even be one in Norhtern PA. We lived in Southern CA and Cathy Kanter Past President of UBPN) was the President of out support group back then. Maybe someone will help me out and post the information here !! The Southern CA Support group really helped me to get through the rough times !!! GAYLE

Hi,

I am in California - in the Los Angeles area. We take part in the SCBPN's (Southern California Brachial Plexus Network) annual picnic's in the San Diego area and they have a very large support group. Their website is www.scbpn.com. What part of CA are you from? You can email me anytime - look under my profile. I'd be interested if you are in the LA area. My daughter is Alyssa and she is going on 10 years old. She has a left BPI from birth.
