Hi All,

I saw a musical funny about Social Security. If you want to see it, go to website flowgo.com & click on "Social Security: The Musical." Let me know what you think.--Kim

If I can help anyone that knows someone with Spina Bifida or has a child with it by answering any questions or by talking of any concerns, please contact me. Some advice I have is treat people (especially children) "normal". Let them experience life, make mistakes, & become independent well developed adults. Health issues: Keep an eye out for open sores, and if you have any, get them treated right away by a wound specialist so they don't get the best of you later. Also, I think it's a good idea to have blood tests run to make sure you have good kidney function. It seems that kidney problems seem to occur to people with Spina Bifida

Spina Bifida

I am a married middle aged woman with Spina Bifida. I've been through alot. Being a teenager was tough due to dating issues. I walked with braces & crutches & had a unique urinary system which was hard to explain to potential boyfriends. I did end up getting married to a man with slight cerebral palsy, which is tough in itself. Four years ago I lost both my legs below the knee due to poor circulation due to the Spina Bifida. This past November I had to start kidney dialysis which I've been told is a problem found often in a person with Spina Bifida--lucky me!! I will certainly do the dialysis until I get a transplant because I don't want to die but the dialysis is certainly the hardest thing I've had to go through.
