amazing recovery after tendon transfer 1 year ago
I havn't posted here in a while, but I wanted to share my son's amazing LOBPI recovery after his second surgery! He now has full range of motion in his left arm and strength! amazing STRENGTH!!! I never would have thought I would see from him what I saw..... So I ran in and got the video camera. You all have to see this! My son had 4 of 6 nerves Avulsed and was not given a very good chance of a full recovery but as you can see in the video! It is just amazing and I swear...I cried when I saw it for the first time.
If you look at my previous youtube videos you can see that he had NO motion in his arm whatsoever. THIS IS TRULY AMAZING!

- 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.
