Follow Your Passion: A Seamless Tumblr Journey
So recently I’ve bee considering applying for a balance and mobility support/service dog, but I want a bit more information from people who actually have them and aren’t paid to give a good review
(It’s also alarmingly difficult to find organizations that train balance and mobility service dogs)
I understand the financial drain and the time you need to put in to make the team function properly. I understand that a service dog is considered a medical device and not a pet, but they still need love and support and breaks like all loving things should. I understand that given my allergies a poodle would be the best option but I could also push for a less common breed.
Does anyone have an info, tips or blogs to recommend?
I really want to be independent once I move out and I really think a balance and mobility support dog would be helpful.
Just remembering the times I’ve actively been falling asleep in front of a doctor due to my chronic fatigue but then they still don’t do anything but tell me I need more sleep
Which isn’t unreasonable but I am a student. An AP GT student who falls asleep during class as well so I don’t get the notes or miss the lesson so I have to come in after school to get notes (or dig around the online classroom for the teachers that actually post their notes) and then have to teach myself the lesson.
Then I have to do the homework which is difficult for me to focus on (we think it’s undiagnosed adhd given other symptoms) and trying to complete the assignment takes a minimum of an hour. Give or take given exhaustion and falling asleep reading the questions, pain in my wrist, fingers, hands, etc, or having to do other things.
Then multiple by the four educational classes I’m in (thank god French doesn’t have homework)
I get as much sleep as I can
All this to say, I’m glad it’s summer and I’m glad I was finally diagnosed (maybe collegeboard will finally consider accommodating me)
wheres the romance or “attraction” around disability? lets talk about how no im not wearing lingerie actually, its my back brace, tell me how they traced the indents of your compression socks. tell me what it felt like to be loved in a disability setting. or do you just not love me?
