I think it's a given for kids with CP that are (were) >ambulatory. If you shaved my head it would look like a roadmap of Vermont, You guys too? I didn't know it was SOP for CP kids. After a couple of minor surgeries to remove blood clots under my scalp, the staff at C.R.I. made me wear a boxer's helmet for several months. CP 'kids" did I say? My last good one was when I was 28. Married a month, & my bride came home for a quick break (is that PC enough?), just in time to hear me trip over the threshhold in UT's married students' housing & watch my head bleed on the wall. Took me to the infirmary to get me sewn up, & was late getting back to work; after she explained what had happened (& that I was CP), they fired her because they were afraid she'd be off work too often!
