So recently I’ve bee considering applying for a balance and mobility support/service dog, but I want a bit more information from people who actually have them and aren’t paid to give a good review

(It’s also alarmingly difficult to find organizations that train balance and mobility service dogs)

I understand the financial drain and the time you need to put in to make the team function properly. I understand that a service dog is considered a medical device and not a pet, but they still need love and support and breaks like all loving things should. I understand that given my allergies a poodle would be the best option but I could also push for a less common breed.

Does anyone have an info, tips or blogs to recommend?

I really want to be independent once I move out and I really think a balance and mobility support dog would be helpful.

My foot has been hurting for the last five days and is making it agonizing to try and do my PT.

Nothing looks wrong, it’s not a joint (I think?)

It doesn’t hurt all the time but if I bend my foot up towards my ankle it hurts or point it.

This is weird

Me when I went to the endocrinologist and they assumed I didn’t know what my autoimmune disorder was. Not like I’ve been dealing with it for 4 years.

Didn’t even think to check me for what I was soon after diagnosed with by a geneticist.

My doctor shocked I know more about my debilitating condition than him
