Day 2885: Name the Condition

Name the condition differently-abled aren’t that fragile – that’s my message to the world

 

It’s 11 : 29 AM on day 2885 of my journey towards independence and I managed to pray, read a Bible verse, spend time outside  and do some work.

 

This morning I was thinking about how most people don’t use the term Cerebral Palsy in my presence instead they refer to it as my “situation” or “circumstance” I know people want to spare my feelings and I truly appreciate it but I won’t break if people name my condition it’s not an insult to me it’s just a fact I’m unashamed of: I have Cerebral Palsy  .

    I have known a few people with cerebral palsy. At one stage I wasnt as willing to make the effort, but later I was able to make a more positive decision.
    Certainly no reason to be ashamed. Sure there are times when it is uncomfortable and frustrating. Of course many people have disabilities that are less visible.
    I Look forward to hearing more from you.
