@justcpnotspecial: Most of my posts are usually upbeat and fun, advocating for life with Cerebral Palsy. I want to write an update on what's been going on lately. Two weeks back, I fell asleep on the flight back from Peru in a bad position for 5 hours and pulled some back muscles. Even though, I usually don't experience any pain living with cerebral palsy, when I do get injured, the diagnosis process is quite tedious and complicated, as well as the healing process which takes much longer than for someone without CP. Most of my friends with CP agree that when we experience pain from an injury, our disability becomes more challenging to deal with. This past week I've been just resting and icing, along with taking pain medication, unable to run errands, move freely, or enjoy meeting with anyone. A true test of my patience. It has been difficult to deal with this, especially during the holiday season. This pain is truly disabling. No other option now than to rest and take it easy, the world will have to wait. It puts in perspective how difficult it must be for people who have to deal with disabilities which include pain all the time. The pain and lack of mobility make me feel a little lonely and down, your messages bring hope and cheers. Thank you for all your get well soon messages. It's special to have family and friends and you all to cheer me up when I'm feeling down. Sending anyone experiencing pain all my love, respect, and positive vibes! 💚 #cerebralpalsy #cerebralpalsyawareness #disability #pain #disabilityawareness #cp #cerebralpalsykids #cerebralpalsywarrior #wheelchair #cpwarrior #disabled #spinalcordinjury #physicaltherapy #disabilityadvocate #Love #cpawareness #awareness #cerebralpalsystrong #cerebralpalsymom #walking #challenges #positivevibes
