6. I loved my cp clients the best

When I worked at the State School and Hospital. But later in life I was working in drug treatment and our cook's daughter had mild CP. I never would have known, without having been told. She was a little awkward but had learning difficulties and that spurred her Dx.

My ISSH, CP clients were my smartest, most determined, loving people. Intact mentality but their poor bodies were alternately floppy or stiff. Sometimes, one stiff side one flacid side. They were my favorites.

I wish you the best. Having a body with a mind of its own must be a challenge. You sound like you are up for it!
