Living with CP: the early years part 21.

Hello everyone.  I hope you all are having a wonderful day today. Where I live, we have not really had a winter season this year and I'm loving it!  Now let's get started on today's entry. 

What I looked like.

When I was in Children's Medical Center for about a week after a operation, I had to lay flat on my back with my legs wide open in a full body cast.  That was difficult for everyone, because if I wanted to turn over there was a bar between my legs and 3-4 other people had to hold other parts of my body and flip me like a pancake. 

So I wouldn’t get bored laying there and not able to move, my dad went out and bought me two remote control cars.  One was a Corvette and the other was a school bus. Everyone knows how short the cords are that come on them.  My dad took those home and took the cord off and put a new 40-foot cord on both of them.  After that I could go where ever I wanted with them. 

After a week, it was time to come home where I would spend another 4-6 weeks in the cast.  They had to figure out how to get me home because I was still laying flat on my back.  They got a friend's van and unfolded the back seat so it was flat, and home I went. 

In my next entry find out what happened after I got home and hear more about my great school.  Have a great day everyone.
