When I was just a baby, only 1 year old, I got sick. I had an ear infection that wasn't just the normal bacteria type, it was also a virus. My parents gave me medicine, but that only stopped the bacteria part. The virus went in along my auditory nerve to attack my cerebellum. The cerebellum acts like a big switching station for all the body's nerve signals. Mine got damaged. I was walking and starting to talk, but after this, I could not even sit up, since my balance was totally gone. Doctors were stumped for 2 years, but a Neurologist finally figured it out and called it Post Infectious Cerebellitis. I started therapy, speech, phsycial, occupational, all that sort of thing, and did it through High School. The doctors said I would never walk or talk. But, my parents refused to believe that and pushed me to work hard. Now I can walk, talk, and do just about everything. Even if my speech is not totally clear, or math and reading are a bit tough for me, I keep working at it. I proved the doctors wrong!

Good for you (and your parents).  That sort of thing is really amazing. I like hearing stories like that. That whole paragraph made sense to me, just some of the lines in your other posts didn't.  either way, welcoem to the forums!

this.

no matter what causes it, no matter who writes it if a sentence doesn't make sense to us, we don't know what you are saying.  I hope you get the answers you were looking for though.  I think you already did actually, but I am not sure.

That is quite a story! Wow :) Well, welcome to the forums and yes, I certainly meant no offense--I really just didn't know what you were trying to ask.
