My Name is Amy Gustavison and I was born to Dale, 39 and Sylvia,37 on July 10,1970 in Alma, Michigan with Cerebral Palsy. Although my mom is a Registered Nurse she had later in life. My Agar score was 1 and the umbilical cord fell out and became detached. The doctor just she hold telling my mom that I was dead. Some other doctors came rushing in to save my life and my mom and dad would not be told for thirteen months that I had Cerebral Palsy. In those thirteen months, I didn't make all my milestones. My mom would keep asking the doctor what's wrong with me he wouldn't tell her so, she still worked in the same hospital where I was born and it said Primary diagnosis; Cerebral Palsy Mom told the doctor that she wanted me tested he said to bring me back when I was 5 I went to a Special school at 13mo. Until I was five. I didn't walk until I was 4 ½. At 5yrs. I went to a school 20 miles away from home because they had special needs classroom that was like a daycare. When the school went on strike, my parents divorced, and my mom was in a horrible automobile accident at work. She took me on crutches to grade school down the road from my house. During High School and When I went to Arizona State University, I started to gain weight I got up 375. My sister helped me loose 200LB. But when I had surgery weight went I had surgery on my spine. DPPYOGA HAS HELPED MY ARTHRITIS. I went to a regular school with OT PT and PHOI help. And I battle Depression and anxiety. I have a learning disability and Spinal Stenosis, I get really bad headaches, I Have Nerve Damage. and I now live in Prescott Valley, AZ
And four years ago in February, I was diagnosed with spinal stenosis. I was able to manage the pain until my arm started hurting. I had trouble walking. I don't want sympathy. The Doctor did a MRI. I was diagnosed with spinal stenosis. It's been almost 5 years and I still have no motivation to walk because its the doctor did two surgeries first he made so the vertebrates were not touching but then hours after surgery I could not move my legs. He took back to surgery and removed all of T1 T5 and part of T7 I sometimes get really depressed and I fell like let everyone. I did walk 300 steps and that was it I feel like let everyone down. It now 2019 I am doing DDP YOGA I can stand but and put myself to bed. And use the bathroom by myself. I can not walk. I started 7 weeks ago. Nothing else has held my attention more then DDPY.
You probably don't how to talk to me or what to say because of the Cerebral Palsy. I have normal intelligence and understand everything your saying. I say this because sometimes people don't what to say. Ask anything. Sorry I keep adding things I also am the Admin of my own Support group on Facebook. This is the no pity zone I am not looking for and it doesn't help me. Just talk to me like you any of your other friends,
