Hi...I’m Judy Manning...I also have Cerebral Palsy...I wasn’t diagnosed till I was 43...as a kid I did everything everyone else did...I just fell more. I am now 60 and walk badly with a quad cane...is this normal for CP people? I have a huge fear of going in a wheelchair and becoming a burden to my husband

It depends on which chair is, like best for you electric or
manual because the, chair I am in is manual and your area
is suitable for your needs.

Hi @judymanning,
Welcome to the online community! Great to have you on board. Not sure if you've had much of a chance to have a look round but if you have a look under 'Popular Groups' there is a condition specific section relating to Cerebral Palsy so might be worth asking your question to that group?
In case you have any problem finding it I've included the link to this group here:

Hope this helps.
Best wishes,
Kirsty
