guide dog reflections

I was reading someone's guide dog training class journal, and it makes
me remember my days in class with savannah. I wish i'd not lost my blog
from 2001-2006. I put a lot of work into those pages and the database is
gone.....but....anyway, I was reading Amy's journal and i was thinking
back to the antisipation i had when i was waiting to go into class. It
made me remember the juno walks and the lectures before and after
getting my dog.

Over all, I miss having a dog because i was more confident with mobility
but it seems as though something has changed. I seem to be a much more
confident cane user and that's only grown in the past several months.
Traffic still makes me nervous and edgey but walking around san jose has
made me a lot more confident in myself and most of that confidence came
from getting and working with dogs and descovering that yes, getting out
and learning how to get places can be scary so i walked slow, but i also
learned with the dog that i can walk faster, as long as i clear the
areas around me and make sure those areas are covered.

Since chris and i have met I've also descovered that having a much
longer cane helps. When i was replacing my cane a couple months ago they
were out of the length i wanted, so i went with something 2 inches
taller.....My cane is taller then i am! But there's an advantage to
this. I know what's in front of me where as before i never quite knew. I
also know more of when streets are coming which is somethng i'd missed
in the dog. I feel the ramps before i'm on top of them and this helps.
The longer cane means i can walk farely fast and still know what's
around me and i can do it with or with out a dog, I'm liking this.

neuclear eggs!

So i had another gastric emptying study this morning. Nothing really new
to report i dont think, i didn't take my reglan because i assumed not
let's hope that wasn't a mistake:P

Either way the test was a bit different then the ones i had done in
florida it was an egg salad sandwich instead of scrambled eggs. and they
didn't administer the reglan at the half way mark like they did in the past.

packages packages!!!

Over the weekend i ordered several things off amazon that we'll need for
the month or upcoming couple as the case might be....Cat food,
supliments and so on plus some stuff to start making yoghurt for scd

I think we've got over 5 packages or something like that coming today so
it should be interesting.....I bet ups will hate us today lol...

prepping to start scd

Gearing up to start scd. I dont have an exact start date yet, Still
trying to finish getting coordinated. Have some few things left that
aren't allowed on scd but i'll make due and start it then do the intro
once my ton of ginger ale is gone. No point to starting the intro now
not with that still around..

restarting the scd diet

So I made a rather hard decision in that i have decided to restart scd
after being off it for almost a year. The hospital is willing to work
with me here in terms of not getting illegal foods plus we're in an area
of the country where it's much easier to get organic foods with nothing
added and so on.

Basically i've got things going for me this time that i didn't have last
time. I'm excited about starting it in some ways, I'd like to get
healthier and i need something to help keep me out of the hospital so
it's at least worth a shot.

I figure the worst that can happen is that it doesn't work out and i end
up eating what i was before. I had some improvement on scd but i had
problems to. Part of my problem was getting illegals and having
infractions. That was one of my largest problems, and i'm going to try
and avoid that this time.

I've got several non-scd foods left in the house. I have a whole ton of
cream of chicken soup left for one thing plus a bunch of ginger ale. I
figure i'll put off starting scd for a couple weeks and help get rid of
all the illegals in the house lol. So here's to trying to see what happens.

google, accessibility and blogs.

Well i just spent a painful 45 minutes on trying to enable comments on
my medical marijuana blog. I found it disturbingly inaccessible. I
ggather from looking at google's blogger.com website that it's "a new
look prettier blah blah blah. Well, first of all there's no easy way to
change your settings in this "new and exciting blogger look" I spent
forever tabbing to the right place. then when i'd get there sometimes
the field would be labeled sometimes it wouldn't be. So in some cases
i'd have to arrow arround to read the required fields then i'd spend
another 10 minutes tabbing back to that point because the dumbass thing
doesn't track properly. So i assure you the new blogger look is far from
new and exciting it's a pile of crap.


It's totally almost completely inaccessible and almost impossible to
use, go google!

thoughts on blog posting and sex

I decided to repost this link in part because i found it useful.

http://www.hotholyhumorous.com/2013/02/how-to-give-hand-job.html

Now normally i dont talk about my sex life on my blog, I try not to in
part because our sex life is our business but....:P

I found the above article rather useful. Because of both my medical
conditions and the medications i'm on, We tend to get a little creative
in the bedroom. I found the above link useful because I love giving
chris pleasure and I've learned over the past almost 2 years what he
likes and what he doesn't. This article gives good advice if you dont
know how to give a good hand job,and it also offers suggestions. For
example I never thought about using lube. Bet he'd probably enjoy that
one will have to try it.:)

The article also offers suggestions on things to do to help him enjoy it
more.

Over all i've found her articles both useful and informative. I'd highly
recommend her blog for those who would like information about sex from a
christian perspective.
