I am not talking about curtaling because I have CP, but in addition to CP I
also have DJD, IBS, GAD and HTN.   You dont have to go out and do everything
to prove that you are some supper gimp.  Do fun recreational things once in a
while but don't go out and do it to the point that you are taring your body
apart like what I did this symester. And rember your in school not to just
have fun but get a degree.
