Well yes, of course.  The damage to the brain itself is static, no question
about it.  Just as damage to the brain from polio is static. However
Post-Polio Syndrome is a widely-recognised medical phenomenon.  Now it's our
turn to make the medical community sit up and take notice that CP affects
our bodies throughout our lives, not just during childhood.  They can't
assume that just because we walked after therapy they'll never hear from us
again.  Medicine isn't infallible.  Doctors may think they're gods but
they're really humans and can make mistakes. but unfortunately, it can be
very difficult to change the status quo.

As medical science advances the "above 60" CP population will expand as the
baby
boomers continue their march thru the decades.I was told it's not the
condition itself
that worsens,but the changes such condition requires of our various body
parts.Semantics
maybe, but if one is to believe that the initial brain damage itself does
not broaden,then
that's most likely what the docs mean.
