Hey, glad you're doing better. It's amazing what being on a good team will do. Keep it together guy, and give Terry a nice long ear scratch for me. The Rx solution. VA Valium- I love our vets.

I probably would have kicked your ass. But in fact I was one. I'm a t4 para and veteran with some head stuff going on. I have had my service dog Terry for almost 3 years now and I do know what I would do without her. It's not a pretty thought. Everyone considers us a team. It's always Chuck and Terry. That's fine with me. I was given the Rx solution but all that did was make me tired. I still have some off days now but Terry helps me through those a lot better than VA valium did. My family and friends now consider me a "fit". So do I. Your post is right on target. These dogs are about more than helping you get physical things done.

I had a diving accident in 1999 and became a quadriplegic. I have had my service dog Nala for seven years and do not know what I would do without her. All the task she performs are important to my activities of daily living, however her companionship is priceless. I hope you have a great day!
