Hi Kat,

   Amber is on the same wave length - to her she was born this way and its natural. By the way - She turns 18 tomorrow!! I am teary about it - I remember hanging over the isolette wondering if she was going to make it and now she is such a smart beautiful young lady.

OK I guess this is where you and I differ=2E  I don't see CP as something =
I
have to work hard to cope with as it's always been a part of me=2E  It's a=
s
natural to me as is breathing=2E

The stresses of life, yes=2E  I mean, job stresses are out there for me ju=
st
as they are for anyone else=2E And yes, I have to cope with getting older,=

but everyone does=2E  I honestly don't see CP as something to 'cope with=2E=
'=20
The affects, such as stiffness and joint pain, but not CP itself=2E  Hope =
I'm
aaking sense, everyone=2E
