The hardest and best 5 years of my life
The hardest and best 5 years of my life
Hey all!
Today is Brayden's 5th birthday! WOO HOO! Those have been the best as well as the hardest 5 years of my life. But we made it and we are looking forward to many more. I have tried all day to not think about this day five years back and the things that happened, not the birth but the injury and no apology or explanation. Even after 5 years it is hard not to feel angry. But I am going to buck up and put it to the back burner because my baby is 5 today. It is not everyday that you turn 5 so it is a time to celebrate. Zane and I woke Brayden up this morning singing Happy Birthday, had a great breakfast and off to school and work. I can't wait to celebrate some more after work and school. Just wanted to share that Brayden is 5 today! YEAAAAAAAA!
Sorry about that just had to share and vent!

- 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.

Happy Birthday. My little girl will be 6 on May 8th. The birthday's are a reminder of what happened the day they were born. I'm right with you when you say how hard it has been. I recall the gyno saying "well they can do surgery to fix these kind of things".. I've found that it is never "fixed", but she is a happy child.
