It's Our First Watermelon!
Gardening has become a good brain therapy project. It is ALOT of work, but fun. This is the watermelon I grew in the garden, summer 2013.
You may notice that one of the positives from gardening is that it has helped to improve my mobility - shoveling, lifting, twisting, working my hands and fingers.

Service Dog Works and Plays at the Beach
มุมมอง 5K11 ปีที่แล้ว
I am a traumatic brain injury survivor. Windsor, my service dog, and I began to work together to become a team starting in March 2010. It is not easy to become a service dog team. Hours and hours, months and months (approx. 2 years) of work go into training for the service dog and the handler (me). There were definitely times of discouragement as Windsor and I worked at becoming a team. My frie...
Dodger & Windsor Garden and Play

My friend visited our home with her new guide dog. She is an expert gardener, so gave me some great tips and taught me how to plant asparagus. Then Windsor and her guide dog played together which was another good learning time for me. It was a fun busy day!

I haven't made a video in quite sometime showing some of my progress as a traumatic brain injury survivor. Today I welcome you to the garden I've been working on for a number of months. Of course, Windsor is there too! Gardening is good brain therapy work for me learning how to plant, what to plant, how to care for it, etc. Wow! Is gardening ever teaching me patience though! Maybe in a few mont...
Even Kids Can Help Train Service Dogs Part 2
มุมมอง 1.5K12 ปีที่แล้ว
I love seeing what kids can do! This is Duncan, one of my nephews, who spent some time working on helping Windsor to practice his tasks. Duncan doesn't have a dog, so I think he did a great job showing natural ability to work with animals. Windsor loves Duncan and was doing his best to follow along with Duncan's requests. Yes, that's me you'll hear in the background - the person whose voice IS ...

This was a big milestone! Christy introduced me to Disneyland! It is a milestone in her life due to her working to recover from a brain injury in Feb. 2003. It was a first visit for me!

Christy is really growing in enjoying color...

Service Dog Performs a Medical Alert.wmv

Medical Alert Service Dogs use different tactics to alert or communicate to their handler, the disabled person. This video shows one type of alert Windsor performs and also how he and his handler work through her episode while she is sitting down. The handler is a traumatic brain injury survivor.

My New "HOBBIT" Shoes!
มุมมอง 1.2K12 ปีที่แล้ว
This is my first 5-minute walk outside in my new Vibram Five Fingers Shoes. The hope is that they help to strengthen my feet/ankles/legs to provide better balance. They are quite funky now aren't they? My doctor says they make you a "Hobbit." Beware: There are different types of these shoes. The first pair I tried were more like a ballerina slip-on shoe - making them easier to put on due to my ...

    When an episode is happening and the dog is laying on the pers. what can a person do to help the person who is down. I wouldn’t know what to do. I know what to help a seizing person. My mom taught me. But other folks with different problems , I wouldn’t know what to do. And I would be afraid their dog would not allow me to approach them.

    Lady... i was in a car accident last year n was apparently ejected from the car. My head now does what i see your head do but in minimal standards compared to you. It feels like a bad head seziure due to severe muscle spasms from the impact injury. May I suggest smoking some herbal medicine or ingesting edible ingredients to assist in controlling episodes on top of your service animal? I am capable of working extremely long hours in a restaurant with this combo and this combo has lasted me almost a full year so far... it really helps. Namaste and many blessings! -101st AD veteran

    As someone who suffers from social anxiety where one of my issues is a fear of people noticing me, your courage in continuing to go out places where people could see you is amazing. Beautiful dog helping you! Given that the video was shared 9 years ago; is Windsor still with you? Keep up that courage!

    Now I confessed in that service dogs pay more attention and look at the owner. This is starting to smell in a few ways, a camera person on hand and a dog that isn't interested. Convinced.

    Wow. That is an amazing dog. His dedication put a lump in my throat, and I'm not usually very emotional. You are also VERY inspiring to push forward and be so mobile despite your BI issues. Please keep pushing and don't give up. You and Windsor have my prayers, for your continued progress and success. Also, I just noticed the date of this post, so I know this is 8 years old and Windsor may be at rest now or at least retired. If so, I hope you have found and equally dedicated canine partner.

    I'm glad you have a dog to help you, we really are blessed to have them. Windsor is amazing! I understand you have a brain injury and I shouldn't of been cutting onions during the part you explained about the employee. This is inspirational and so are you. He's so good at his job and I bet you're proud. You're an amazing person to watch and I love watching what he does. I have a service dog too, though he only does light mobility and nothing like this. It's amazing, really.
