[nagdu] water intake question

[Star Gazer]

I'm curious John. 
Do you have other disabilities, either cognitive or physical? I'm trying to
understand why you need a home health care person and I'm wondering if you
have more going on then just being blind. 
I ask because if blindness is all you've got going on, you've been
infantilized and that needs to stop. First step is for you knowing that it
needs to stop.

John, no one else can really help you care for your dog.  She is your
primary responsibility.  You must take her out several times a day, so that
she doesn't have accidents in your apartment hall.  
Never, and truly I mean, never leave your home without a bag with you to
pick up her poop.  Again, this is your responsibility.  I will say I have on
occasion forgotten to bring a bag, but now generally I have several and have
been known to wash pants with bags I haven't used, in the pockets.  You must
be the one to feed Mollie.  Not your health care provider, you.  You must be
the one to brush and comb her.  And you must primarily be the one she goes
to for affection.  If you can't do that, (and I'm encouraging you to keep
working on doing so) then that's another story.  But Mollie will work best
for you if you are her primary 
source for everything.    Debby and Neena
