[nagdu] probably going back to Pilot and other things

[Criminal Justice Major]

Hi, all,
I may probably go back to Pilot during the summer to train with another guide, more because Vocational Rehabilitation is taking too long to do anything, especially just for the O&M stuff.
My case has been reopened with them for almost a year at least which will be around June, 2011.
Once I get the harness sent back in, I'll more likely look around the middle or end of June for training.
If I have to do any other initial training such as getting my next partner used to guiding me when I do have to use a power chair or my walker especially after having a nasty seizure, I'll most likely look into contacting a private traing on my end.
Pilot doesn't do any guide dog training for those who are wheelchair bound, so that can be a challenge.
Friday last week was a busy day.
I went off to Denver Health for a follow up with my doctor to discuss about my admitance to the hospital around the last day of April to May, 4, 2012.
He's all for it and is glad we're all on the same page.
I ended up going ahead with the EKG that same day and my heart definitely looks great.
I'll admit I definitely experienced an awful migrain like nothing and it ended up happening in the same area where my seizure activity is occuring for the time being.
The crazy thing started off in the doctor's office.
It was a dangerous situation I was going into, but thankfully, nothing else ended up happening.
By the time Odie and I were done after everything, I was ready to go home and so was he.
It was obvious my partner knew I wasn't feeling all that well and just wanted me to go home to be in a safe place.
While we were leaving Denver Health Medical, Odie suddenly became distracted and I couldn't figure out why for at least ten minutes what was causing him to do that.
I had to get on him a couple of times to pay attention and finally, using the word PFUI (pretty funny unplanned incidents).
He did get his act together, but I could tell that my partner wasn't very happy though that I wasn't listening to him.
After I had crossed over a side street or a driveway, I then heard an ambulance come shooting out of the 6th Avenue side of the DHM campus and then on to Bannock Street.
I then told Odie I realized why he was not paying attention that he was trying to warn me ahead of time that one was coming out of there rather quickly.
We reached the bus stop and he pulled to the right, indicating to me that I needed to face the shelter at the stop and have my back facing toward the paramedic truck as it was going by us.
Odie heard the engine of the truck start up and saw the red and blue emergency lights flashing as it was perparing to make its exit.
We took the route52 from in front of denver Health down to 18th and Laqwrence to disembark near the Fire Department to walk a block home.
I let Odie take care of business before going upstairs.
By that time, the migrain was so bad that I just threw my pajamas on and went to bed immediately for the rest of the day.
Saturday was bowling practice.
Odie and I went to that and by the evening afte returning home, both of us werw exhausted and wiped out from the heat.
Around 9:15 Saturday evening, Dale and I ended up being woken up by the fire alarm in the hallway.
Someone carelessly burned their Tortino's pizza.
It actually made our whole apartment complex smell and I was able to pick up on the odor even outtside in the back of the building while the bedroom windo was opened all the way.
Surprisingly, Odie didn't respond to the noise of the fire alarm.
Dale had to touch him to physically get his attention upon having him come into the bedroom with us and close the door.
He then realized what was happening and looked toward his daddy.
Dale said to him that we did hear what was going on.
Fire department showed up in four minutes and turned off the alarm.
I am proud of myself as I did not experience a convulsive grandmal seizure during that incident.
Regardless, I still have to be on guard as it could occur another point.
As for Sunday, Odie, Dale and I were worn out from the heat.
I slept off and on during the day and Odie had his nap with a good long sleep too.
For today, am just getting caught up on emails as I have over four hundred to go through.
Hopefully we can get a good rain shower as it's something definitely needed.
Well, will end it all right here for now.
