Welcome
Can you tell us a little more about yourself or not? -
Evening I am 44 years of age I was diagnosed with CP when I was 6months old. I have no use of my right side can not feed myself or wash and dress I have to be lifted or hoisted in and out of bed shower and lifers on and off the lavatory. I use a street to drink as can't not good a cup etc. If anthingis put in my right hand I drop things constantly I think it is my age and my body getting generally weaker I continue to keep positive as I know there are people in worse situations.
