Impact On Your Life
Doing simple things are hard. I love to read and I have stopped for the most part.
Positive Effects
I love challenges. This one has made me hard in ways, and soft in others.
Adaptations
I have a computer screen as large as a TV. A big Stetson, but I have always worn a Cowboy hat anyway. Dark glasses that I hate to love. "Only we understand that". I lean on people whether they like it or not. lol
Employment
I will not be driving much longer, so I am going to have to change my job. That's OK. I am a certified dog trainer. I am going to start breeding and training animals, service dogs to be specific, instead of my current job as a construction scheduler. A lot less money, a lot more rewarding.
More About Me
I would love to teach others with our affliction to train service dogs. If anyone wants to give it a try, contact me.
