If you or a loved one has cerebral palsy, join the group to share your experience or get advice from others.
I have mild CP and it just affects the way I walk. I walk with out any kind of help all the time and just get scared that I \"might\" fall. Sometimes that can make me late for class since I am scared to let go of a building or an object to walk around campus to my class. I favorite thing to hold on to is my friends but they cant always be there and since I dont always need help or want help I want to find something I can hind easy that I could just keep on hand in case I needed some help walking from on place to another. I regular cane doesnt make me feel safe enough, I think I would like a quad cane but there so big thats not easy to hide. Do you know of anything for me to try?

theatre and I are there already. I'm having a very berry tea with crackers, cheese and cherry tomatoes and she's having a joint with some beer and we're both on really comfy recliners on thick pile carpet. we need some help with the decor if anyone is around??
i try to plan my day (classes, meetings, etc) around as little distance as possible or around how long it will take me to get there. sometimes it sucks to have to think so much about something most people don't even consider but (in my opinion) it's much better than tripping over crutches or something.
on a mini side note....i use to carry band aids in my bag walking around campus. that way if i did fall i could take care of it before getting to class without making a big deal out of falling.
