Yes, I am combining days again. Mostly because yesterday was a pretty rough day. I found out that my first Mobility instructor passed away from brain cancer. Bob was such an amazing teacher and a wonderful person! I got to know him first during our mobility lessons and then even more when he took O & M for Children (a class) with us last spring. I kind of broke down when I found out he passed. I just kept crying and shaking and couldn't pull out of the sadness I felt. And I am still sad today but I am able to function again. So please say a prayer for Bob!!
Today was an interesting day. We had the first part of a seminar on Dog Guides and learned a lot about walking with dogs and doing Juno walks; which is where a human takes the place of the dog. It was really cool to work on walking around obstacles and walking routes:). Looking forward to more work in the seminar tomorrow morning and learning Orientation with guide dogs:).
After 15 years of trying to finish my undergrad, I spent the week before finals in and out of the ER. During finals I was diagnosed with Endometrial Cancer. I graduated Magna Cum Laude the next weekend from Western Michigan University. I am now blogging about my experiences of fighting cancer & living life after in hopes of being able to help others.
