Things you want to share with P&B

My wee girl has mild cerebral palsy, thankfully it only affects her right arm and to a lesser extent her right leg.

Anyway, I planned to get a tattoo done and thought about a print of her feet on my upper arm, then with this diagnosis I thought I would get a green cp ribbon between the feet.

Now I've pondered this for a week or two and I've binned the idea of the ribbon.

The more I thought about it the more I thought, is the cp so high on the list of what makes up my daughter that I would make it so important. That I would make it the thing I have on my arm to represent her and you know what?

I decided f**k that, I'm going to go ahead and get her feet tattooed on my arm and maybe her name but that's it. Her cp is going to be the quiet noise in the background of her life not the badge she wears on her chest.

This is the thing I wanted to share today.

Outstanding post stimpy.

Best of luck to you and your family. Shit like this puts things in perspective and when you get through the initial pain and shock then you realise that there's so much more to life.

Thanks, it's just something she'll have in her life to deal with and we'll give her all the support she needs.

The health professionals have been outstanding so far between the consultant, physio and OT, couldn't have asked for better.

I have personal experience of CP and wish you and yours all the best

No one on this site knows me, as far as I know. I'm possibly the most unemotional guy ever, A guy who will by choice never have kids as I'd rather selfishly go for a pint. This post however is brilliant and if I was ever a parent I'd hope to be like this.

Sorry folks but, as a c**t, I can't help but think that you're all setting Stimpy up for a slaughtering when the subject of folk getting their weans' names tattooed on them comes up again :P

I said maybe and it'll be discreet, you know like across my chest or up the whole length of my arm in ancient Hebrew.

Something classy.
