Cerebral Palsy Support Group
Cerebral palsy or CP is the most common childhood physical disability. It is a permanent physical condition that affects movement. There is no cure for cerebral palsy, but various forms of therapy can help a person with the disorder to function more effectively. If you or a loved one has cerebral palsy, join the group to share your experience or get advice from others.
these past couple years i have been looking for creative ways to regain my independence. although i love getting out of the house and shopping, grocery shopping presents its own unique challanges. first, there's the daunting task of getting there. on more than one occasion i have had issues finding an accessible bathroom. and it always seems to me that the EXACT thing i need is on the TOP shelf, and equally frustrating is that it takes me an ETERNITY to find somebody tall enough to get said thing down.
but the internet is truly a blessing...who needs to go to the grocery store when the groceries can come to you? i know internet shopping has been around for forever, but for some reason it never dawned on me that i could get groceries that way too. i thought you guys should know about this website i found called www.netgrocer.com . they have a lot of your regular groceries, plus organic, kosher, and international foods. i haven't ordered things from them yet. i think i might start by ordering non-food items to see how fast things get to me.-fallon

i'm all for buying things from websites if it's stuff i can't easily find or i am too unwell to go shopping, but i also use shopping as an excise to leave the house or at least roam around somewhere on my own for a while.
Any reputable store should have people you can grab to help you with things you can't reach, and i'm sure if you build up a relationship with your local corner shop type store they wouldn't mind helping you either.
I'm a little bias i guess cause i have a powered chair so i struggle less than i used to but you really shouldn't give up on actual shopping, or what will you give up next because it is easier to do it online?
trust me, i'd much rather leave and run my own errands. but that's not always possible. i found this website, and thought it might be helpful to the rest of you. i was just trying to help. sorry you felt it sounded like an ad.
I learned that the less i do; the less i can do
God Bless
P.S. i learned that if you let out a good howl (like a coyote) help arrives quickly!!
