Thank you everyone for the warm welcome!
Kiwi, at this point, about the Cerebral Palsy, I am guessing at this point. My parents never ever looked into it. I was an uncoordinated child and now adult. Mom did stretching exercises and the only thing I was ever told was that I had a hip out of its socket. I also wore braces that help my feet apart when I was very young. CP is a thing I discerned later as an adult. But now after seeing this new specialist and his explanation of a stroke in the womb early on, maybe it isn't CP after all. Or the stroke and lack of oxygen to my brain caused a slight case of CP. I'm sure I'll learn more as I go along. I have slight spasticity in my feet and legs mainly. While my hands work pretty well, I have problems with my fingers working and they will double joint up on me at times so that I have to, with my other hand, un-joint(not a word, I'm sure) them.

I look forward to reading more here and meeting more people.
