Saw a dermatologist today. It was confirmed, I do have psoriasis. Being
an autoimmune skin disease, there is a good chance other stuff might be
going on, even if it's not showing in the bloodwork. He wrote several
prescriptions for different prescription creams and one for an oral antibiotic to
try, but I have to wait because together the damned things cost $400.
Met
some really nice people while grocery shopping and waiting for
prescriptions. They were interested to know about Ember and service dogs
because both the mother and the daughter have medical issues involving
mobility problems, and the daughter is in a manual wheelchair and could
use help to regain independence. They also shared interests in stones
and jewelry, and the son shares similar spiritual views, so we stood
around talking forever and shopped together while chatting, until her
blood sugar got wonky and Ember started alerting to both of us feeling
ill ( was time for my meds and I had some dizzy spells ), which they
thought was amazingly awesome.
Also had a kindergarten teacher
and her son stop us and politely ask if I wouldn't mind explaining what a
service dog was and how different kinds helped people, so I gladly did.
She thanked me and said she would share the information with her
classes to help the children understand working dogs have important
jobs. :) I gave her a card with some info to check out.
Overall a decent day. Progress one step at a time.
