Advice: Adapting Buttons on Pants and Shorts

Life would be so much easier If buttons on pants/shorts didn’t exist because it’s hard for me to button pants and shorts so before I put them on I button them and then I have to get them over my big hips and butt haha. I can button my pants ect but I do struggle a bit especially because I basically use my right hand for everything. I can use my left hand a little but it’s difficult since my left hand is my affected hand. Anyway does anyone else struggle with this or have any tips to make it easier? :)

Until I could master buttons on pants and shorts, my grandma used to take them off and sew on Velcro in their place.

I grew up longing to be like everyone else. I wanted to walk without crutches, I wanted to not need a wheelchair. My contact with other kids with disabilities was limited and my contact with disabled adults was nonexistent. Over the last three years, since I've started blogging, I've discovered community among people with CP. I have come to embrace my status as a disabled woman and I long to have my blog be an extension of that community. I want to be that role model, that adult with CP that I never had growing up. I want to show kids, teenagers and other adults with CP that we are not alone. There are a whole community of us out there, just waiting to embrace you. If you want to talk, feel free to email me at toniasayscp@gmail.com I would love to hear from you.
