Raising the bar

On May 23, 2011 By R. James Turley1 Comment

It seems to me that accomplishments are getting easier than they should be.  That the bar has been lowered in everything we do, and that cannot be a good thing.  My first year of public school, I started out in the third grade.  Comming from a school for handicapped kids, where I got mostly A's, …

Awards

I played in the "United Cerebral palsy" games in the early 80's.  Won some medals and ribbons.  But I'm most proud of the award I won in sixth grade.  At the beginning and end of the school year we had to take a test in gym class.  A fitness test that was made up of …

Limiations

On May 16, 2011 By R. James Turley2 Comments

As a child with a disablity, I felt like I was alittle more mature than the other kids.  Sometimes because I wanted to be.  Most of the time because I had to be.  I get the feeling it's that way for most, if not all disabled kids.  They don't want to act grown up, they …

Passion

On May 12, 2011May 16, 2011 By R. James Turley1 Comment

I never was a big reader in school, or anywhere else for that matter.  I did everything in school but school work.  I was only there to be social.  I wasn't interested in anything but sports at that time.  It wasn't until six years ago that I found my passion.  I didn't know it was …

Bits & Pieces

On May 9, 2011May 9, 2011 By R. James Turley1 Comment

Isn't it funny how much we don't remember, or choose not to remamber?  I was looking at some photo's the other day, some very old, some not, and it was shocking to me how much I don't remember.  It seems like I only remember the happy times, and even at that's in bits and pieces.  Their …

Without Wings

On May 5, 2011March 13, 2015 By R. James Turley2 Comments

It was my first year in public school, second grade.  Even though I had learned to stand and walk without my crutches I was still taking them to school with me.  I didn't use them in the classroom, kept them in the coat room.  Only used them to go certain place like lunch or recess.  …

Barrowed Time

On May 2, 2011May 27, 2015 By R. James Turley5 Comments

Foruty-seven years ago I was a blue baby, a result of a heart defect called transposition of the great vessels.  Fourty-four years ago I had a stroke which brought on cerebral palsy (CP).  Fourty year ago I had open heart surgery.  What was done was called the Mustard Procedure.  It was named for the doctor, William …
