The Airbnb that the EPIC cast stayed at in Ithaca will be a historical site among fans and I love that.
I was in the ER overnight and didn't get home untill about 5:00 only to be told that my blood work is normal and I should follow up with my specialists.
That's how my life is going.
I am running on a protein bar, 2 eggs, and three glasses of Kool aid and I feel GREAT.

This is aimed more towards the Service Dog community...
Okay, so I have had multiple diagnosis over the past few years. My lovely list includes POTS, hEDS, essential tremors, ect. I am a Junior in HS and I am wanting to owner-train a service dog. My mom thinks that exercise and medication will make me better. The meds that doctors have previously given me haven't worked and I just got an exercise program that is specific to my conditions about a five months ago, and have seen little improvement. I rely a lot on my mom to help me do things and when I get to college, she won't be there to help me anymore. I want to become more independent and really struggle to do so now.
We don't have the money to get a dog professionally trained and I have made it clear that I would be willing to put in all the work. My mom has said on multiple occasions that when our *pet* dog dies, that she doesn't want any more (not because she hates animals, but because she loves to travel) I have explained that a service dog is not considered a pet and that it is a piece of medical equipment. She also says that I can just use our arthritic 8yo dog instead of getting an actual sd because I will get better and won't need one later on. I have done extensive research on what breeds that would best fit my needs, what tasks it would need to learn, and how to train them. I have also spent hours upon hours reading our local and state laws as well as the ADA's.
So...I guess my question is, when did you know that you needed a service dog? And how can I convince my mother?
Edit: She is now saying that if I get a Service dog, our pet has to go live somewhere else.
It feels like there is a little man under my kneecaps trying to get out

Just saw Ride the Cyclone and they put Noel in an Orange corset and Pink spandex
Just accidentally swallowed a pea whole and saw my life flash before my eyes.
I do the dancy dance to get in my panty pants.
