no more surgeries please!

okay if you say it will help. ummm...so how do i say this, not sure if i mentioned it yet but i have mild cerebral palsy. i was diagnosed at the age of 5 with congenital hemiplegia cp. i'm 27 now and it still haunts me to have to deal with it all the time. as a child growing up was difficult because the kids knew i was different and teased me all the time. i still walk with a limp and for the pass 8 years i've had 3 corrective surgeries and i'm about to have my fourth surgery in 2009. i've had 6 total so far. the right foot is causing me a lot of pain and makes it somewhat difficult to workout or doing any type of activity. but i try my hardest and i feel good about it afterwards. despite all the trouble that i have to go through it has been a challenge for me and i'm always up for a challenge. i push myself more and more because i like to find out what my limits are and even if there are any limits i still push myself just to see how much i can do. hopefully with me losing weight maybe my posture will improve and my limp will disappear (pray) and the pain will lessen and just feel better about myself all around. well duh that's a no brainer. i here those weightloss success stories all the time and hear people say how much their health has improve physically and emotionally so i know it will change me, right? i don't usually talk much about my cp because it can be difficult to explain to people and they don't really understand it most of the time. so if there are any of you out there with congenital hemiplegia cp, how do you deal with it?
