Y
es I do. The medical term for my type is 'Spastic Ataxic Quadriplegic'. This means I have tight muscles, lack balance and all four limbs are affected. I use a motorized six wheeled black beast of a chair for mobility. It is in stark contrast to my thin, small frI was born at 22 weeks and was 12 inches and 960 grams, a tiny bundle. I spent months in the special care nursery before I was allowed home in 1978. I don't consider myself to be disabled, except socially. People just need to stop being "scared' of people with different abilities. Dig me or get out of my darn way. Cheers!
I am cool and happy just as I am, thanks. I rock. I am single and not fussed about my "relationship status" anymore. If someone witty and charming who is true enters my life, I will be blessed...if not, I will still prevail.

 | Posted Jul 24th, 2008 at 2:43AM I like people that have a positive outlook on life, regardless of their situation. A friend of mine has a lot of medical issues. I can't remember the name of one, it's really long. Anyway, her eyes can't focus, she's blind in one eye and almost in the other. She can see like 3 feet in front of her and not very well. A lot of people would be bitter and angry about that but she's not. She laughs about it, is very positive and pleasant... She's amazing. You remind me of her. +4 nods |
 | Posted Sep 3rd, 2008 at 8:18PM I have a friend at work, John, who also has CP. We work in a cubicle farm, commonly known as a call center. He's always joking about how he tries to keep his CP in a jar on his desk, but it manages to get out and follow him around, LOL !!! +3 nods |

 | Posted Sep 4th, 2008 at 7:51PM cool. sounds like an awesome chair actually...your own throne from which to rule. one of my friends has CP...so far a chair hasn't been needed. but he has been told it is in the future. so far he uses a walker. gets a chuckle out of saying he has his sea legs, and follows the roll of the ocean when he walks. I don't know what specific kind his is. But his was from oxygen deprivation during birth. keep rollin' and screw any body who gives you crap. |
