Guest guest Posted January 27, 2011 Report Share Posted January 27, 2011 Hi , Wow, we've just been considering a dog but didn't know if we were ready for that commitment. Our son isn't in a wheelchair, he walks around his campus, though we have had to shorten the day by two periods due to fatigue & pain in walking. (He's taking two classes online) Boy, I'm sorry you've been in pain for so long. That's really hard. His pain is in his feet/legs, hips, lower back & neck. He'll tell you it's everywhere... muscles aches/cramps, & he feels like it's his " bones " as well. The non-relenting ache/pain has really caused him so agony. Being 15 yrs old, 6 ft tall, & seemingly " fine " he gets a lot of " why aren't you in sports questions " . He/we have a very hard time explaining to people what's really going on with him, to where they " understand " . We will continue to persue the dog idea... I'll let you know if that happens Thanks for sharing your idea. Kathy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
