Carla,
    Sometimes I find that this happens to me after a drink or two. I'm
spastic quadriplegic. Gerri Jewell(American comedienne with CP, who had a
recurring role on the TV sitcom The Facts Of Life) used to tell this joke
    How do you tell when a person with CP is drunk?
    When she can walk a straight line.

Have a good day!
Susan (;-))
