Insane new "medical device"

Post by katep »

This came across my email this morning.The headline is "Mechanic Develops Medical Device that Could Save Millions of Lives". It allows the head to be pulled on EVEN BETTER. HOW is that going to help prevent injury and death?

The word Pulled still concerns me. I device may need another modification. Extend the grips so they go below the shoulders...under the arms. I'm no doctor...just a person with BPI and a active imagination for ideas.

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".
