Today was "therapy" day for me. It didn't go as horribly as I expected when we talked about how I didn't handle the fourth very well, even though I didn't hear much of it. The lights and the sound I did hear though, yeah, not dealing too well with it. We talked about coping techniques and then my therapist brought up an idea I hadn't thought about, but don't actually mind.
'A pet would be a good idea'. She told me, and mentioned that in my line of work, it could be helpful. So now I've got a brochure on Hearing Dogs, and how to apply for one. They could train it both to hear things for me, and to deal with me when I get...funny.
I'm not sure if I'm ready for that, actually. The last pet that I had...I had to leave her behind when I came back here. The Fucking Army can expend everywhere else, but it can't let me bring home my kitten.
...I didn't even know that one still pissed me off. I guess it's all the dog business that's making me think about it. If I'm ready for an animal in my life again, and well, if I want to admit that I need help when I'm out in public. A dog would make me visible, point out that I'm the guy that doesn't hear too well and everything else. On the other hand, it might be nice to have something furry to sit with on the couch again, and this time have it able to help me.
I'm thinking about it anyway...
