Long time readers of this blog my remember that I tried wearing calipers as an alternative to splints a couple of years ago.
While they were better for me in some ways, like I could get them on and off myself, I blistered quite badly if I wore them for too long and so in the end I went back to my splints.
Oh my goodness me where have the last couple of weeks gone? I think I blinked and missed them or something. I’ve been so busy in the best kind of way, working, writing and having some kind of social life.
There’s been a couple of hospital appointments too. While they’re less exciting, it does mean that lots of helpful things are happening to me in my CP life, which is good, more on those in a separate post, I think.
It’s 12.15am on Saturday morning and I am trying to sleep. It should be easy, I’ve been tired for hours but I just can’t get comfortable.
It never feels right if I leave the house without my walking frame or wheelchair.
Hi guys, today I want to talk about spasms and maybe ask you a couple of questions too.
I get them sometimes, usually only in my legs. They used to be quite a rare thing for me. My mum aid I used to get them a lot as a baby/toddler but I don’t remember having them much as a child and teenager.
However, I think it’s fair to say that a lot of things in the cerebral palsy-side of my life have changed loads over the last couple of years. Longer readers of this blog will know that I’ve had more bad days and tire more quickly now than I used to, but I’ve also noticed that I’ve been having more and more spasms too.
