I went through life not knowing anything else but the pain I suffered daily and that it was only getting worse. No doctor could give me any reasons for my conditions but were always willing to give me different prescription cocktails to aid the pain to go along in my daily life. I graduated high school with honors and went on to get a Bachelor Degree in Business and Advertising and after a short successful career I decided to changed course by getting my Master Degree in Special Education K-12. Where I taught for 11 years. As of 2008 I could no longer deny my body could no longer keep up with me and what I wanted to do in life. I was fortunate to have my husband to support me and encourage me to do what I needed to do to have a quality life. So I stopped working out of necessity and after some years had passed I eventually signed up for the rigorous endeavor of getting Social Security Disability Benefits. That took 4 years once I had finally admitted I was in need of the support to help my family. My husband and I also looked for other ways for me to be more independent because I was barely leaving the house unless it was with him because I had fallen a few times in public and had problems being on my own. So we decided to get a Service Dog to be my go to helper and give me back some of my independence. I decided to write this book to educate all ages, especially the young that Service Animals are not a crutch but a gift. To get back to a life we can achieve given with our limitations/needs. Not every ones limitations or needs are the same. A Service Animal does not make you everything you wanted to be and do, but it stops you from losing who you still are as an individual and gives you hope and your pride back. Jäger is now my sidekick buddy and now I can’t imagine not having him to rely on.visualizza meno
