Glad to help, Brent.  Some of us here (Ken, myself, Kat, et al) have been
really discouraged because we were always told that the CP was a neuro
"insult" and not a disease--therefore we could expect stasis is our
conditions.  This was long before the idea of "post-CP syndrome".  Wish we'd
all known then what we know now--I'd have been a lot less eager to push my
own physical envelope.

Thanks for the info, especially for the URL. This is exactly the kind of
