About Cerebral Palsy

I know. Cerebral Palsy is probably just slightly less popular a topic than colitis on the "what's wrong with them, I forgot again?" scale.

Do you really want to hear more on my colitis?

Thought not. I've got better stuff to do, too.

Oh, and a life.

I'm working again on my main writing project that lights my fire. Mostly just research and notes until Bruno's back in school (six weeks to go). You know when it's for love not money you can't say no. If your a fiction writer you'll know you fall in and your gone for what seems like forever yet it passes like no time at all.

And Bruno wants to make new videos today which we will probably post later. Taping is time consuming but fun and Bruno always makes us laugh. Laughter is healing (hey, colon, get aboard!) I want to make his summer - what's left of it - memorable and fun.

For anyone following my health status (a few of you said as much) I'm still the colitis queen of the high desert but it's a lot better. The pain scale is down around 3 more often than up around 7.

As for Cerebral Palsy, if you don't wanna hear about it too bad. You came to the wrong blog! (Must be a full moon).

Got C.P. Too bad, too. Get over it, that's life. (How many times do you get to use "too" twice in a short sentence).

I don't cover this part of my life nearly enough. I'm thinking more CP exercise videos out of me are in order. (Lucky You!)

Hope you're healing whatever is hurting you. J too.

Now as for the C.P, crowd. No, we're not the glamorous ones. My guess is, in reality, neither are you.

Oscar Pistorius Should Be 'Pisted' Off - And So Should Every Other Disabled Athlete!

This man comes back from unbelievable odds to becomes a world class athlete and what happens? The 'normal' people ban him from the Olympics -regular not 'special' Olympics - because his artificial legs give him an advantage? Give me a break! And why am I not surprised. It takes MORE guts and focus for us 'special' or 'disabled' or 'handicapped' people to do half of what 'normal' people do by ACCIDENT. You 'normal' people should be ashamed.
Paralympian banned from Beijing Olympics

South African Paralympic athlete Oscar Pistorius will not be allowed to compete at this year's Beijing Olympics.

The International Association of Athletics Federations has banned him from all competitions involving able bodied runners, saying his prosthetics gave him an unfair advantage.

Pistorius runs with carbon fibre blades attached to his legs.

When the man they call the blade runner started smashing world records in Paralympics events, it became clear that not only could he run faster than disabled athletes, but he could also beat many able bodied runners as well.

Now the IAAF has endorsed the findings of German academic Gert-Peter Bruggeman who conducted tests on the prosthetic limbs and said they gave Pistorius a clear competitive advantage over able bodied runners.

Pistorius was born without fibulas, the bone between the knee and the ankle, and both his legs were amputated when he was 11-months-old. He has already said he will appeal against any adverse decision by the IAAF.
