We had an "initial interview" that will hopefully lead to the goal of my wife, Janice, having a service dog. During our time with the non-profit organization, we met adult dogs who have been trained to assist people in various ways. Janice has multiple sclerosis; we went into the interview with ideas about how a service dog could help her, and were also surprised by other tasks that a dog can be trained to perform.
After the interview, we visited with lab puppies in the kennel. If all goes according to plan, Janice will receive a service dog, individually trained for her needs, in 2019.
This past year I have had to dig deep to have courage to do self injections as part of the treatment for this uninvited guest that is in my body called MS. I have anxiety each time I have to do this, it really does not hurt-most of the time. The side effect is fluish symptoms so I do this at night so I can sleep through it.
Facing fears...this past decade has been about that. ..divorce, finding a job, illness, self-doubt.
One day at a time, it's okay to fall down, get back up & keep moving forward...courage even when it feels like fear, let go and see the power within and the beauty that radiates of the simplicity of each day...live life in the light of peace & love.
Inside the blue auto-injector, you're looking at the top end of the syringe my wife used last night, for her daily injection of Copaxone.

I was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis on Monday, November 29, 2010.
I'll leave it to your imagination as to how I feel about this.
I had my first shot of Avonex today, Saturday, December 4, 2010.
I'll tell you how I feel about that one - my arm freaking hurts!
We had a training session with the Avonex nurse first and practiced on a grapefruit. It was quite comical to me.
I think the nurse thought I was crazy when I told the grapefruit it was going to be ok as I stuck it with this HUGE needle. Or maybe it was just that I took a picture of the needle before I started talking to the grapefruit. I don't know which, but the more I think about it, the more I'm sure she thinks I'm crazy. :D
Ashley M. Kumlien and Thomas Budde stopped in Carrollton, Ohio on Labor Day 2010. While there I got to meet Tom and Ashley while they stopped for a few moments before heading off to the state of PA.
Ashley is not in this photo, however I am waiting for the photo that was taken by another person to be sent that was taken with me and her.
Photo is of Thomas Budde (L) and me Edward L. Hale (R)
