My doctor said that if I was still walking on crutches, I would need a hip replacement. As it is, it depends on how I can tolerate the pain. However, if they did try to replace it, it seems like my spastic muscles would just seize up and pull it out of joint. I do fully understand why it takes so long to recuperate. Messing with CP muscles and joints is definitely a bigger issue than the same procedure for the able-bodied. I hope you continue to improve. Tina Annie,

I am a 50 year old woman with CP, who had a total hip replacement 11 months ago. There are very few of us out there...so it was a great thrill to find this site. My recovery has been extremely difficult. Much harder than I was prepared for. If there are others who have had a similar experience, let's chat, share stories, and encourage each other. I am slowly regaining my strength. My life is busy, but I feel like I'm always explaining "why it is taking so long" to regain to my pre surgical, independent lifestyle. People just dont understand CP, or how it affects the body. Hi~~

My site is neither red nor green. It is mostly orange. So, I am not sure what colors would work best for you. Are you talking about the print itself, or the colors of the headings. How can I change the site, so you can read it? Let me know, and I will see if I can change it to accommodate your needs. Thanks for letting me know, Tina Colin,

I needed to let you know that some elements of your website are difficult to scan for me, as I am color blind. I have problems with deuteranopia, however there are more forms of color blindness which will also experience difficulties. I can read the largest part of the web site OK, and the areas I have difficulties with I can read by employing a custom browser. All the same, it'd be cool if you would consider us color-blind surfers whilst doing the next site redesign. Cheers. Hi.

Thank you! I hope that you will keep contributing comments and maybe even give me some ideas of what you want me to write about. Also, if you or someone you love has CP, I would be glad to post your story as a blog entry. Even though CP is a common disability, we all have different experiences that might encourage someone else. Thanks again, Tina Sophia,
