Going through metal detectors with AFO

secretsjsands wrote in cerebral_palsy Aug 13, 2014 14:57

I haven't used LJ in years, but I have this question as I am vacationing in Washington DC in a few weeks. This will be my first time going through metal detectors while wearing an AFO brace. It does have metal, but no more than your usual belt or so. When I search google it only comes up with airport security (and taking off shoes) and if dental ( Read more... )

Gaming on the Xbox360

So I'm considering getting an xbox360. I'll be heading to best buy tomorrow to check out the Xbox One on display to make sure I can work the controller with one hand. I have mild CP and can't really use my left hand all that great. I know about the trigger buttons on the controller and the left/right buttons. I can use a SNES controller with one ( Read more... )

Cold and poor circulation

Hi!

How do you all deal with the cold winter temps and poor circulation? I wear ankle,foot, orthotics(or braces or splints) that come up to just below my knee. I also wear the long socks that go with, but I can't seem to keep my legs/feet warm. Winter is just starting and I can't handle it :(

Thanks!

Yeah, so. Check out the Wikipedia entry for "vanishing twin" (warning: there's a pic there that some might find squicky). Under "See also", the entry lists "Chimera" (makes sense!), "Mosaicism" (also makes sense!), "parasitic twin" (definitely makes sense!) and... yes, you've guessed it: "Cerebral Palsy".

What?

What?

Everybody sing!

BRAVO! I wished it was longer.

Because another few CP-related groups couldn't hurt...

I know I have shared this group with others (and do), but there aren't as many people on LJ as there once were...

Some other outlets I know:

You Know You Have CP When.... (Facebook group)

youknowyouhavecpwhen (Tumblr)

Some cross-site collaboration could be good, too. :)

Footwear and purchase disasters

Like every woman seems to, I adore shoes. I got into the whole fashion thing quite late and could not wear high heels or heels of any sort until my tendon-lengthening op in 2005 because my balance was so rubbish.

The question I have is as a woman with very mild spastic diplegic cerebral palsy affecting the legs and using a walker, has anyone here ( Read more... )
