A little about me

Now that a lot more people (six or seven) than just my friends read this site, I thought I'd write a little about myself.

I was born in 1974 with cerebral palsy. 30 years ago, doctors did not have the medical knowledge of this disability that they have now.

After my birth, the doctors approached my parents with a new, controversial treatment plan. They believed alcohol, administered constantly and often, could decrease the effects of the cerebral palsy. There would, however, be one side effect: I would surely become dependent upon alcohol.

After a few days of contemplation, Mom and Dad decided to follow the doctors' suggestions.

So, how did everything turn out?

Well, I'm still crippled and I can't stop drinking.
