- 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!!!!!

- 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.

You know my memory is not what it use to be!
Next month I will jump to another number...
But when I turned 50 I made a family rule...
When you turn 50 you can begin to count backwards.
Pretty soon I will be younger than my kids... LOL...

Re: Camp UBPN 2007
OMG ...I am sooo excited to see that camp is going to be close for us this year. I live about 45 miles North of Seattle, and Tarakyn and I cant wait to go to camp again..It traditionally has been a mother-daughter trip, but with it being so close her dad and stepmom and me and her stepdad along with her brother, might actually get to see what it is all about, and it would be a great learning experiece for the others in our family
We have missed you all
Tarkyn really misses "Crazy" Tony from FL

Re: Camp UBPN 2007
There is no specific website for camp. There is this message board and in the next issue of Outreach Magazine, there should be a bunch of info.
Hope to see you there!

Re: Camp UBPN 2007
Can I ask a really stupid question? But do any families that live close together ever travel together? I'm just wondering because I'm really considering coming to camp (though I have serious doubts) but I would be traveling alone with 2 2 1/2 year olds. I honeslty don't know if I would be able to manage it.
