Living, Riding with Cerebral Palsy
I am asked all the time “What do you have?” or “Are you hurt?” From the time I was 5-years old I could never answer those questions, because I thought that I walked like everyone else and that everyone else was in speech therapy. The summer before my 4th grade year I read a book in the Thoroughbred series about a girl with Cerebral Palsy. A few weeks later I read the sheet that my school sent home every year after my mom filled it out and saw that I had cerebral palsy. I couldn’t believe it, when I saw my mom after school I denied it and said she must have made a mistake, because I was nothing like that girl in the book. At that point she sat me down and explained that I have a mild case of CP and that not everyone is as lucky as me. While I played soccer, bowled, and helped out on the farm, other people with CP had to have help even eating, it was still hard for me to process as I was only eight or nine years old. To this day I thank God that he lets me do all the things I am blessed to do. Often, I am asked “Do you feel any pain?” the way I explain it is I have lived with this my whole life so I don’t know if I do or I don’t to a point. Read more
