I Had Fun Yesterday And More About Cerebral Palsy

I had fun yesterday at my exercise class because there was a lot of people with physical disabilities and mobility issues there. Oh and everything we did was related to volleyball and soccer. I am even making a new friend. She had a stoke a few years, but is doing pretty good. Did you know that cerebral palsy is pretty much a stoke that happens right before or after a baby is born because of a lack of oxygen at birth, being born early, or a traumatic experience at birth like the umbilical cord being wrapped around the baby’s neck? I have cerebral palsy because I was born 3 months early and struggled to breathe. I have the kind that makes all four of my limbs very stiff at times. The other types Of Cerebral Palsy are stiffness in the legs only, stiffness on one side of the body, muscles that are across between too tight and too loose and one that causes shakeness, balance and coordination issues. Professionals now know that CP often co- occurs with autism spectrum disorder, epilepsy, ADHD, learning disabilities, and more. Last but not least, the best treatments for people with Cerebral Palsy are physical, occupational, speech, water therapy, neurotoxin injections, adaptive dance and horseback riding. Thanks for this rant and I am going to have a lot of fun presenting all my CP related PowerPoint to the PT students that I do my exercise class with in a couple months.
