Cerebral Palsy…
Yesterday I had an interesting encounter with a women who thought that Cerebral Palsy was a disease and not a condition or a disorder. To be honest I’ve never run into someone who thought this way. If I have they’ve never said anything to me. As a lot of you know I’m a person living with Cerebral Palsy. Mine is very mild and I walk on my tiptoes because of shortened heel cords. Every 4 months I have medical Botox injections in my legs to help with Spasticity.
I’m blogging about this because I want people to be aware of this condition. I want people to educate themselves on it because I don’t want to run into a person who feels this way again. I don’t want people to think that you can somehow “catch” this or that it’s contagious because it’s not. It’s something that you’re born with and you can’t get rid of it. Even if I had all the procedures I’d still be a person with Cerebral Palsy.
