Dog Guide school More updates
I thought i had gotten further with this. Steve met me at the plane. I had limabeans, and other stuff and ham. Oh, I forgot a comb. The meet and assist person who called the cane a "magic wand" was Filipino. I slept a little, and waiting for the second plane, listened to a little of the Sunday meditation. I listened to the second of two meditations and Deb said I ot through grad school, and I would get through dog guide school. I had this fear and panic. Let it go. Steve the dog guide school instructor met me in Columbus. I had sweet potato, ham and peas, according to my notes. Turkey bacon and French toast was the first thing on January 21. I was bummed I could not watch the Inauguration. On the night I came in around 10:30 or later, Steve said my roommate would show me around. Vegetable beef soup and fruit and cookie for lunch, and potatoes, roast beef and salad for dinner. I saw particles and spirals during the meditation on Sunday the 20 of January. On the 21, I met the people here. I really liked Cecilia and we talked quite a bit on Sunday night. Mike had PTSD issues. I had felt that there was abuse with one of the people. Terry had been shot, because he had been a police officer. I really liked Allen. Cecilia and Mike knew who my cousin Ron Jeremy was. We could sleep until 7 that day because it was a holiday. I meditated on that morning, and heard the "tones" which is a meditation technique while waiting for the dog. Vicki had been divorced and both she and husband are psychologists. Steve said: "Ready to meet your new partner?" She cried, and was agitated, and looked towards the door. We did a Juno walk the morning of the 21. We use a harness and walk as if with a dog, while the instructor sees what our reflexes are, and our gait and whether we can feel the tension in the harness, or if the dog is turning. We walked around the block with Noelle after I recieved her. We took her out nearly every half hour and they got a bath, also. I had used the treadmill on Friday, the 18 and Saturday the 19.
