Hi @Dawn68. Just joining @Geoark in bidding you welcome to the community. Much respect to you for coping with CP for 21 years! That has to have been tough. I was main carer for my late daughter, Jenny, until she passed away in 1991 at the age of 4 and a half years, and I will never forget how hard that was or how much we feared (pointlessly, as it turned out) how we would cope as she grew older. One just gets on with it, of course, but I know how hard it can be.
Glad to have you here. Don't hesitate to ask, and know that there will be someone listening.
Warmest best wishes to you,
Richard -
Thank you Richard xx
