only backgroundI'm a wife, mother and grandmother. I'm opinionated. I contradict myself frequently. Most of all, I love my kids. I believe in them. I fight for them. They're weird and wonderful. If you want to know more, here's a bunch of other stuff from my old site.
Who Has Erb’s Palsy?

Interesting how you can start out at IMDB researching movies and end up at a different site, learning about a condition like Erb’s Palsy, the result of a birth injury. I’ve tried to retrace my steps because my surfing habits just confuse me more and more these days.
I don’t even remember what movie I was first searching but I landed on the page about Martin Sheen. Next thing I know, I’m reading in a Wikipedia article that he was injured during childbirth and has a mild form of this condition which causes paralysis to the arm.
Now I want to go out and rent Apocalypse Now and pay very close attention to his left arm. I’d never noticed it before so I’m really curious. And I still don’t know how I got from one site to another. I think I need software that tracks my path, like a map, and saves it so I can go back and read more. Interesting stuff.

I’ve never heard of it, but I know now I’ll be paying attention to the same thing the next time I see that movie.
I have erb’s palsy as well. Its not that common it happened during my birth. Not many people notice mine but sometimes If I even sleep the wrong way or execise it too much my arm really stiffens.
