    thats when Bella was in her awkward stage, she had not grown into her feet and was very clumsy..they said it would be hard for her training but she overcame it because she is very intelligent...Boxers are an extremly bright breed   smile

    yeah, my helper dog for my physical disabilities also helps me alot with my PTSD...dogs are wonderful therapy, they love you unconditionally and will listen to you forever, never judge you or complain if you mess up and help you motivate, because they have to be let outside and be fed, etc...


    I love my Boxer  smile

      Has the Lupus wreaked havoc on your joints and connective tissue? Or, is it something else?

    2 dogs, 3 cats here.  Frankly, I'd be lost without them.  It's awful to say, but for the most part I prefer them to human contact.  Except you guys.  smile

    I was home alone when I got a phone call that my grandmother had passed. I felt numb, I didn't get hysterical or cry. I simply went into my bedroom and shut my door.

    My dog - Cooter was his name lol - he nosed my bedroom door open! He walked over to me and put his head in my lap. I've never had that kind of sympathy from a person - selfless and unsought. Geez, I'm getting teary for the old guy - he was a great dog and a beautiful friend. smile

    its pretty much destroyed my joints, ligaments , one of my kidneys, damaged my heart, causes mass infections from the slightest things, and caused major nerve damage..it does not help that I have Degenerative disc disease to add to the mess..

    but I manage, I could just lie down -complain-and wait to die like many people with lesser issues, but I tried it for awhile and it was not for me. I still like to enjoy everything I can, when my body lets me..
    I broke my back in an accident a few years ago and it never healed , they said I wouldnt walk, but I do walk with a cane..

    to see me on the exterior, you would never know..but if you could see the insides..man, its quite a mess in there...right now they are monitoring 3 masses on my brain, one on my spinal cord and one in my uterus..

    I try not to think about it too awful much, its life...thats how it is and how I have to live it.
    but I can cope  smile

    I hate surgeries..I have had many of the bones in my body broken or shattered...and the lupus rejects all metal they put in, so they have "expirimental" polymers in me, the places that were not repairable on their own..maybe someday I will hub my life..it will be a hard thing, probly the hardst thing I have ever done..to bring it all back...but if your interested I might do it, little by little..

    I will think about it and get back to you on it.

    Some of it will anger you more than it will sadden you...like I said, it started at birth..if that gives you any clue to what will anger you, my childhood years...

    for example..this is hard, but I will give you a piece of history and it will tell you somewhat how it all started, after I was fineally adopted at the age of 12, I was given a paper to read, it was a newspaper from 1979. I was on the front page, my small hand sticking out of a snow drift ( I was born in 1977 ) ..My mom was a war vet..a Vietnam field nurse or a WAC, my father, also a war vet, 82nd Airbourne,  died the year I was born, after my fathers death..my real mom never recovered and started hearing voices and seeing things. One night in late December, she was sure "they" were in our house and were going to get us.She hid me, and the only place she felt safe to hide me was outside, buried in a 6 ft snowdrift. Luckily I survived, they do not know how I did ..I was buried in the snow for approximatly 8 hours and was found by my grandfather, who checked on my real mom daily . He couldnt find anyone in the house , so he started searching everywhere..I was found behind the detached garage, my real mom was found hiding in a ditch 5 miles away , hours later , by the railroad tracks...the VA never helped us...and this is how it all began...

    you know, not only did the VA never really help , the community forever threw my birth mom as an outcast and never helped, the laws were different then, and my birth mother is still alive and it took almost 30 years for anyone to help her, she never has gotten over my dad and never will be the same from the years of hell she had to live in..I used to hate her for things she did to me ..but not anymore, I blame society in general for turning their back on a single mother who was a war veteran who desperatly needed help and never got it , all she got was look down upon, made fun of, and no one ever took time to care...

    and this is how life began for me in 1977

      I think you should write a hub - or two, or three...
      Write them. You don't even have to publish them if you don't want to.

      I have a hub about the death of my daughter, niece and father. They are not even mentioned in the hub. If you didn't know my story you would have no idea lol
      The hub seems pretty general if you are casually reading it. But it has secrets buried in it. Kinda like the daVinci Code. Anyway, after I wrote that hub, I really started to turn myself back around and started healing.

    I used to be a social worker in the VA.  I worked with PTSD war veterans, Vietnam vets.  Like anywhere else, they have huge limitations in their ability to help people.  Plus, don't even get me started on the politics.  In other words, I'm not surprised there wasn't enough help for your parents.  It's a crying shame.

    I agree with Lorlie.  Write about it as a hub or not.  I have a couple that have been very beneficial as "purging" for me.

    it is so sick how the government turns their back on the vets who need help, especially in the 70's and 80's...
    I know you did all you could and I know you got to help all you could, but our own government would not let you do anymore than what they wanted you to do. I know you wanted to do more, your a good person..but I can just imagine how little funding you got and all the red tape you had to battle to get your job done.

      I had people who'd been SERIOUSLY affected by Agent Orange.  I mean, huge repercussions from it.  The government didn't and doesn't want to deal with it, poo poohs it even despite all the research that's been done.  It's mind boggling.  I did listen to them, I did tell them:  I BELIEVE you.  And, how sad after all they had to endure.  How unwelcome and shunned from society they were when they returned.  I learned so much from these brave men and women.  I got SO mad with the lack of services for these people.  Once again, $$$ is a huge factor.

    if anything it has given me a big heart and I do love all my friends dearly, I just have a great fear of people..I do not trust many people...but once I get to know someone I do trust them and I love everyone I know...

    Im just lucky I have a great doctor and a small group, but good group of friends.I have never known how to act in a traditional family, but I have always tried to do my best with my child.

    I have a big problem with getting invited to holiday gatherings, unless it is Halloween...its funny if you think about it, but I get through it for my child, and the last few years I have not been able to go to Christmas, Thanksgiving, Easter, etc...
    My goal is to go this year, for my daughter, to her fathers family gathering, I am always welcome there, but I have been shying away and holing up at home, leting her just go with her father..and every year she brings home presents that I was not there to open...

    This year I will go...Im going to try my hardest, even if it kills me.

    guess what my dad did alot of, he was the man in the chopper, spraying Agent Orange, they think that is how he died, at the time they did not know, but he was fine one week, the next week he was dead, eaten up and riddled with fast moving cancer, causing his insides to turn to mush..
    they think it is part of the reason I have the physical problems I have....

      Not at all surprised.  A lot of these men and women had various cancers.  It's a nasty toxin, for God's sake.  Of course, people will get sick.  Just never mind helping them when they get home.  It's one reason (among many) I had to leave the VA.  I'm so sorry you've been affected.  Might have to write a hub on it.

        I think it screwed up peoples DNA and they will never admitt it. Ever.

      You know, I think I do remember something about it...but very little. When I read about you being in the snow with only your hand sticking out I thought it sounded a little familiar.

      Damn! I wish I could remember for sure!
