Hello Greg,

My name is Chad. I'm from Iowa. I am doing well tonight. I go to the University of Iowa tomorrow and have my 4th Bier Block. A painful but effective procedure. I have CP in the lower left leg. It all started from a simple foot sprain on 6/26/04. I read your story and WILL keep you in my prayers as well. By the way, I'm new here and look forward to your posts and will try my darndest to reply. It's nice to have someone to talk to about PC. My wife is wonderful friend but she doesn't fully understand.

Thanks for listening. If you're interested I will tell my whole story but quite honestly it sounds like I should be counting my blessing considering it's only a small portion of my body that's affected.

Thanks,

Chad

I don't read the posts everyday either so my replies may be slow as well. I decided to post my story for everyone, simply to save me typing it twice. I'm married and have one daughter that's going to be 15 Aug. 23rd The hardest part for me in dealing with the cp is that I was VERY physically active. Not now.
