What sort of a dog do you have? I'm so pleased to hear the tDCS is working so well for you, you must be so thrilled with it. As to my therapist, well she doesn't know much about RSD, we have so few cases in the UK, that we are sadly far behind in knowledgeable medical persons here. She's one of those 'bossy know it all's that won't listen'. Unfortunately she's the best there is any where near me I'm seeing an occupational therapist in a week, maybe he'll be better.... Well he CAN'T be any worse
I have a 5lb teacup poodle. She's 14 now and is pretty tame so in that sense she's easy to walk...no pulling or running off. She's afraid of her own shadow so I never have to worry about her running away with me (not that she really could at her size). But walking the paths at the forest preserve is easier for me because there aren't a lot of sidewalks by my house and there can be a bit of traffic. It takes some coordination to use the leash while also holding on to the walker and I just worry that I will mess something up and either she or I will get hit by a car. Slim chances of that happening but all it would take is one time where I drop the leash, she gets startles and jumps into the street and then I try to grab her. Okay...so maybe I have thought way to much about this...but even if I am just crazy I do feel better walking along the path at the forest preserve. Although yesterday she barked at a goose and I was like, "And what do you think you're going to do? They're bigger than you." She's such a little goof ball sometimes and is only "brave" enough to bark when she's on the leash and can hide behind me.
