[NAGDU] Billings clinic

[d m gina]

As stated in my message I did get to the top.
Can't go any higher.
Changing clinics we have two this one and the Catholic one.
I will stay with this one, it isn't doctors giving me problems it is 
the pals group that helps you from one place to another, where I would 
rather go on my own to teach her the chalenges she enjoys the most.
They have enough persons to help from one place to another, if I need 
help I have asked.
Where a place is.
I enjoy getting around a building as well as the sighted person does.
This is one of the reasons why I got a dog was to get around better.
I even have done this by cane.
I also love the challenge. I am slower with the cane, but I do work it 
out making sure I won't hurt anyone if I bump them with the cane.
I'm pretty sure Bud man gets around his places if not better than I can 
around mine.
I go early enough so that I do have time to find where I am going.
