Life keeps rollin

I had a pt appointment a few days ago. It went ok but they found that I now have a contracture behind my right knee. Is this honestly how ageing with cp goes I guess so for me. They are also trying to get me used to using forearm crutches because i can not walk 350 feet without fatigue and pain to the point I am limping a lot.
I told her that  I take care of my six month old nephew during the week and she was like oh wow you have to be beyond exhausted by the end of a day. Thant is an understatement but I am going to keep going as long as I can. No way am I giving in to cp I may have to make changes to how i get around and how i do things but i will keep doing them and I am determined to walk for as long as I can even if it is with a walker or crutches. she is trying for crutches because of how active I am taking care of the baby. she recommended the full cuff forearm crutches so that they can hang off my arm if I am busy with cooper making a bottle or making his lunch. I will post pics when i get them
