Hi Blemi, Wow what a amazing communicator you are. You should think of doing public speaking engagement! You keep putting into words what most of us are feeling. I have been watching for a while and you have no idea how much you have helped me. I will turn 60 soon and I was born with mild CP and I kept looking for information on aging and CP. It is not until I found you that I felt understood. I have a family, two wonderfull sons and good friends but although they support me, you are able to put into words what I feel. I am Canadian as well and the winter scare me, the snow, the ice. I have been falling more lately so I have to think about walking aids which I find difficult. This year I have decided to spend three months in Florida because I am afraid of the winter. The other thing that scare is having to spend the rest of my life with a partner. I was very fortunate to be married to a wonderful man for about 30 years until he passed away 6 years ago. It is hard to find love when you are aging prematurely. So to answer your question, I am afraid of winter and not finding love again. But I really encourage you to think about expanding your speaking engagement, you do so much good. Hopefully we can meet and discuss.
Thank you so much! That made my day! Glad you feel heard! Jealous you’re warm in Florida. -43 here today
Great to see you back
Thanks for sticking with me!
@@LifeWithBlemi Alway, really like how you deal with life
This was a wonderful surprise to see in my UA-cam feed this evening I’m glad you are back I missied you
👻
Thank you for sticking around!
I found you recently so not a long wait for me lol. I like your personality and the way you talk about your disability. I was diagnosed with mild cerebral palsy from childhood. I consider myself blessed because I am able to do what not many can with this disability. My fear right now is at thirty one is the premature aging that will eventually happen. I’m worried what that means since there is not too much information about it and what will happen to me. I’m also from Canada too. 👻 👻👻
Awesome! Thanks for sharing!
HI Blemi, I know what you're talking about. I sometimes think of the same things you do. It can be concerning. The weather is awful - snow and the like aren't our best forecast when we have to deal with walking through the snow, etc. Congratulations on finding the love of your life.
Thank you! Glad I am not the only one out there who thinks this way
Hi Blemi, some of those thoughts keep me up at night too. There are things in this world that you just can't change and realising that hurts so much and it makes me feel so weak.
I wanted to let you know that I want to become an occupational therapist and your videos help me understand life with disability better. I even did an occupational analysis based on your lasagna-making video.
Wow that is amazing! I am honoured!
I was doing something and i had your video on and i thought at first you said you liked peeing on Tiktok. Then my 2 brain cells got together and heard it the right way you liked being on tiktok. Lol
Ha ha ha ha ha
You are a beautiful woman
Thanks so much! 🥰
Your welcome @LifeWithBlemi
Hi Blemi ❤ my name is Chrissy and I have Cerebral palsy too and I'm afraid of the dark. And getting in and out of the tub is hard for me too. I'm 34 and I already feel my body wearing down. I have been subscribed to your channel for 2 years now ❤
Hi Chrissy! Thanks for sticking with me!
@@LifeWithBlemi your welcome Blemi! I look forward to more of your new videos. This is my teddy bear in my picture. I like dressing him in real clothes because it calms my anxiety.
Glad you are back!
Cute hair!
Awe thanks! Needed something fun!
Great to see you back. Hope you’re doing well
Can you do a life update Q and A video
Yes I can. My
Mom’s pretty sick right now so not sure when I can. But I will :)
👻 I did not enjoy walking on snow and ice when I was young. Big reason we moved to the Sonoran desert 25 years ago. As someone with CP who just turned 50, my body breaking down has become my reality. Yeah it’s not fun dealing with physical problems most people don’t deal with until they’re 15-20 years older than me.
Wish I had the opportunity to move somewhere that doesn’t have winter
Wow!!!! Finally my favorite UA-camr left her big hiatus and decided to appear.
lol thanks for sticking around!
👻 I understand most of these fears. I have a lot of the same ones myself.
My body started to go downhill in my late 30's. I used to at least be able to walk short distances with the aide of a walker and braces, but that has become a thing of the past.
I have since transitioned to a wheelchair full time. Because of scoliosis in my back, I can not even sit in a wheelchair for longer than a couple of hours without intense pain. I spend a lot of time laying in bed because it is the only place that I can get comfortable (with an army of pillows.)
I lay awake at night worrying about what will happen to me in my 50's and 60's because I really do not want to end up in a nursing home as I age.
This has led to a lot of sleepless nights. Especially in the last few years, as I can feel the long term effects that CP has had on my back and joints.
It is a real thing.
I’m sorry your having struggles as well. But I am glad you can relate! If that makes any sense?
@@LifeWithBlemi I understand. It is so hard to get someone who doesn't deal with this every single day to really understand something like this.
Awww… my childhood dog was a cockapoo. I still think about Rags. ❤
They are such sweet dogs!
Hi Blemi, I'm glad to see you're doing well. I'm 42 And I also have thoughts of.
What my life is gonna be like? Should I be fortunate enough to live to see an old age. What's my equality of life going to be like? How long am I going to be able to keep my mobility? Mostly, I find myself wondering if i'm gonna be single the rest of my life, If so, how will I manage living alone as I age
Thanks for sharing that 🥰
@LifeWithBlemi Happy New Year!
