I am looked at differently because i limp. it doesnt seem like i ever get that good first "oh hes cute!" first impression. a limp is a very messed upthing to have. i feel as thopugh that is what im noticed first for the most. i feel as though my limp is sexually unappealing.

Chris, sorry to say this again but, forget the limp!
The other day my wife told me that the day we met she knew something was amiss,but she said the attitude i had made her not think about it and we talked as a "male and female" that wanted each other.

I guess you could call it a limp, but it more like a drunken stagger. wide gait, poor balance
to put it another way, there are some stores and shops I won't go in.

hi chris.. ive joined this group because i viewed a couple of your posts and was wondering if i could ask a couple of questions...my 11 month old son was on vent for 3 weeks of his life..he was born early.. anyway there was a blockaeg tht left him without oxygen for almost 10 minutes.. now, hes not reaching his milestones...hes not been diagnosed but reading your posts im hoping for some info and encouragement...his motor skills on his left are also slightly impared..this affects only his left hand, in which he reaches for things too soon or closes his hand too quickly before actually grasping anyting... do you mind me asking how it was for you as a child? when did you start walking etc...im feeling really low and would like some answers since i dont know wht to expect...he goes to PT and OT 2ice a week and tht seems to be helping in tht he reaches more with his left hand now than he did previously...but any insight as to wht to expect would be welcome..if im prying im sorry, or if you prefer to answer this using my email thts fine as well...hugs

Chris,
I have mild cp. Trust me there are way worse things in life. Thank God for what you have been given rather than what you are missing. I just lost my grandma today from a battle with colon cancer. Trust me there are way more serious life changing things in life than CP. You are who you are just be thankful!!!!

"god" has nothing to do with cerebral palsy... in fact god has notihng to do with anything as "he" is a fictional being. yes there are worse things but considering i only had a 1 in 500 chance of being this screwed over i think its alrgiht for me to be negative about it.

like i said in earlier replies i dotn feel like a freak anymore... i just wish there was an edit button. God has nothning to do with my feelings or my problems. god has to be believed in order for god to exist.
