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!!!!!

Hi Carolyn,

Yeah, I'm still lurking out here, reading posts, feeling as if I've really not much information to share, so not posting. But I'm still thinking it'd be good to meet some of the local folks. I'll do my best to be there, but please, which of the half-dozen or so Starbucks shops in the SouthCenter Maul are you thinking of?

Thanks for thinking of me,

willird
