The therapy session
Exercise and this blog are essential for my health. The body needs to move. Cerebral Palsy wreaks havoc on my muscles. The condition isn’t supposed to worsen as I age, but my body seems to disagree vehemently. The baclofen pump helps this too. I’ve had it about 15 years. It’s one of the best decisions besides Jesus that I ever made. Science and faith intertwine in my story everyday. I owe my quality of life to their interconnectedness. Writing this blog has opened me up, gotten me out of my shell, and given me a community I didn’t realize I desired. Disability is very lonely. I never knew my place, and haven’t felt comfortable in trying to locate it any longer. You are all a collective of wonderful humans who restore my faith, and give me hope. I need a daily dose of hope almost as much as my daily medicines. So thank you. I’m grateful you continue to bless me with your presence. Love you all. Be the blessing and you will be blessed.

I saw on TV this week, that there has been a "suit" evolved to help the spasms of Cerebral Palsy and accident victims. An Olympic competitor has one and was singing its praises. a link from the BBC, sorry not sure if it's from the program I saw, but it's the same suit. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/av/stories-63827708.
ReplyDeleteCommunity, science and faith...a beautiful trifecta! I know I'm grateful for my connection with you. :D
ReplyDeleteI don't remember how I stumbled onto your blog. I just know that no matter how long I find myself stepping away from my own writing, as soon as I come back to it, I'm blessed to find you're still posting. I can feel your heart through your words.

Dearest Regine,
ReplyDeleteYes, writing is very therapeutic and it makes us feel inter–connected of one Faith Family!
Exercise or therapy is also essential.
I'm hoping to be able to bike tomorrow—weather permitting!
First singing in the choir and praising God with my humble first soprano voice...
Hugs,

You are brave and inspiring! Thank you for sharing. 💜
ReplyDeleteHappy affirmation.
ReplyDeleteAny disability is a challenge - I need to manage asthma, and invisible challenge to all but myself, so I 'hear' you!
ReplyDeleteSo glad you are blessed by our visits, as we too are blessed by your transparency and faith.

Just hugs today. Lonely sicks. Thank the Lord who puts us in families.
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely sentiment. Be the blessing and you will be blessed.
ReplyDeleteI desire this community of readers too.
ReplyDeletePraying for you. I had just a small problem this week compared to you...but it made me grateful for therapy, doctors, hospitals, and people willing to help me. (Or I would still be in much pain). My friends too encouraged me and prayed for me during that difficult time.
