i was reading somones blog the other day and it said something to the affect of try to forget about the CP. i find this a littl difficult to do even though i hhave lived with it for 25 years now. I will admit that CP is not the primary focus of this blog like i wanted but there has been so much going on with me these days but i still never forget that I have Cp. Here are the reasons i don't forget it.
I can't run to play with my niece like she wants em to
I have trouble climbing up and down stairs and can not do this independantly if ther is no reiling
My muscles are alway tight and even though i hvae lived with this and am used to it it hurts at times especially when they spasm.
I can never drive because of my visual stuff and i am pretty sure it goes with CP even though the eye doc refuses to say so i know almost every person that I talk to with Cp hae visual issues.
I knwo ther are so many things I can do but I can not forget taht i have Cp this is impossible fort me to do and I am sure it is for any other perosn or parent of a child with CP. i have CP it is a part of me and it has nade me in part who I am i know i have it I am not ashamed to have it and frankly I dont want to forget that i have it yes i would love to be a regular fully functional person IE able to go up and down stairs that do not have rails independantly but i know that will not happen so rather than dwell on the things i can not do I treasure everything I can do but I do not forget I have Cp in fact I say I have CP it does not have me.

There is definitely no forgetting CP! I'm glad we met too! Thanks for following our blog too!
ReplyDeleteYeah, I don't think I can forget it either. I do think I try to forget about some days, meaning I don't always want that to be the focus of who Emma is. She has CP, but she is NOT CP, and like you said, "CP doesn't have her." I get frustrated because I know other people won't see past her limitations. They only see the CP.
ReplyDeleteI am glad to see read your blog. Thanks for supporting Emma.
