- 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.

Re: Small Obstacles
I'm always the girl with one arm up!
I find if you have a bpi friend and your opposite arms are affected... things work well.
Nancy and I put our luggage in the overhead on a plane because she is lobpi and I am robpi!
This also works well if you want to go in a canoe otherwise you go in circles.
Look at all the energy two handed people waste washing their hair with two hands... duh!
LOL...LOL...
