Will it get different (or worse) as I get older? I remember that recurring question. So much was done through my youth to ensure I could have the best quality of life I could have in my present day with Cerebral Palsy.
Daily exercises with weekly physio to adapt around my growing body, splints, more splints and together with more annual checks, it had to be accepted that this was going to happen well into adulthood.
Looking back, The sessions were designed to keep my muscles supple and and grow in a way to give me as much movement as it would allow. I understood the theory behind it. That being said, to me at that age, the application was long and the results not apparent day by day.
However, it helped me understand the meaning through which to guide me to plan for my future movement. I didn’t know how CP would be at 38 back in the 1990’s. I now take every day as an opportunity that was worked on by many people to help me get to this stage and I feel I owe it to them to make something every day I get up.
If I can share some of my journey at the stage I’m at now and document it, it might just help someone who was in my position all those years ago, as I look to provide an insight into what CP is like in adulthood.
Thanks everyone,
With Gratitude,
