Lol, the shoes this is understandable! I'm in the same boat! Well, at the moment, I have one that has cushioning at the top and bottom. Since it's summer I only where when I go out; I've had it for almost 2 years so I definitely where it at school. When I was younger, I wore one on each leg, that sucked! I hated them n' I've also had to wear one at night. I was so embarrassed to school :( :) awesome so do I!

I need to do some research so I can be better informed on Cerebral Pasly, I always learn something new! :) Mine is actually quite 'comfortable' as braces' go. Haha it has a hard shell bbut cushion on the inside. I cannot wear it outside though, it is not made for everyday wear. I used to have a hard one when I was 5 years old-ish. I dont remember much, just always having to buy bigger shoes for that one foot. That was a hassle to find but we made it work. Haha. What about you? Yes I agree with you.

I've had to wear the night brace when I was younger, I hated it. Is it soft at all or no? Katy,

I have a more comfortable brace to wear at night though. Oh, I have had to use plastic braces before, I guess I just never learned the medical term.

I think weight lifting sure does help strenthen your muscles and with balance as well. The last time i was in PT was, around January I'd say? Its been too long but I feel like all she does is evaluate me and what not...I really know how to improve on my own, I have all the tools. I just need to make a life long committment. Ill get there... Wow how do you know that about the Disabilities Act? Kinda ironic :p I will definitely keep everyone on the update!! Summer is such a fun time of year, I love to share whats goin on :) Yay for vampires lol. Are you gonna see Eclipse? Oh enjoy your summer as well Courtney, you are such a cool, nice person!

During my last doctor's visit, he put me on a higher dosage of baclofen and a streching program. My dad recently bought me an exercise ball and it's awesome, lol. I mostly do calf exercises with my right leg because it's my weaker side. When's the last time you were in PT? July 26th eh? That's the day the Americans with Disabilites Act was signed in 1990. Pretty damn cool Fetters! :) Be sure to enjoy your birthday and all those wonderful trips you'll take. And do tell us at TCP about it when you get the chance. Lol, Team Edward all day!! :D Enjoy your summer Katy, you deserve to!! Lol, yeah they are! :)

Summer birthdays are the best. I find comfort in hearing that only because I am lucky enough to be able to weigh train 3 times a week and do cardio just about every day. I would feel so weak if I didn't...I like trying to push myself physically and exercising allows me to do that! Yay for having the same birthday! Summer birthdays are the best.

It didn't give me any results even when I was younger and my father would stretch my leg every day. What did help me tremendously was running and weight lifting. Unfortunately, no doctor ever advised me to take up weight training or running, so I didn't discover the amazing improvements until I was in my twenties. Incidentally, we have the same birth day.
