The dog trainer came out today and he really seem to know what he was doing. He taught me how to get and keep Brodie's attention, I was really shocked at how easy it was. He said it would probably about four to six months to get rid of her aggression towards other animals. I was very impressed with him and I'm excited about working with Brodie every day that I can. He is also a big fan of the Dog Whisperer, Caesar Milan, and wait to see him last Sunday at the Flint Center here in San Jose. I was so bumbed that I missed the opportunity. I have been watching the web site and I get the newsletter and I don't not how I could have overlooked it. I hope he comes back this way again.
For me one of the hardest issues after my injury is time. Before my injury I lived 150 miles from my job. By the time I commuted to work, worked, commuted home and did the laundry, the dishes and clean the house and the yard I really wasn't much time left to do much of anything else but I did not mind at all. Since my injury it seems that I have nothing but time. A lot of time to sit around and think about what I used to be able to do that I can do now. Do my own laundry, clean my house, get dressed and ready to go within 20 minutes, now takes about three hours, drive, walk... When you have a problem or something bothering you it's nice to get up and stay busy and not have to think about it, I can no longer do that. it is especially hard when there is a problem or you're worried about something. Most of the time since I'm not very active during the day, even when I do get up and get out, I don't sleep very good at night. I used to really panicked me but now I just try to watch TV, play cards or chat on the computer.
