I had writer’s block big time. Then I thought I’d just share how I’ve been feeling. I’ve always been stubborn. I want nothing to slow me down most certainly not my condition, but sometimes it does. As a child, I had seizures (not uncommon for kids with CP). I was even on medication for it.

Being born with a condition requiring me to use a power chair so I can be as “normal” as possible & live a full life means I live the headaches of insurance frequently.
