Boot is off!

Just had X-Rays this morning and the toe is healing nicely. The boot is off! Shoes for a couple of days and then ease back into braces. Yeah!
We will be getting our service dog on the 31st of THIS MONTH!!!!!!!!!!! Wahoo! Finally! Now I just need to find a new home for Tink. This saddens the family but there is no way I can keep up with life, train a new dog and Tink all at the same time. I look forward to having a dog around to help out, especially now! Nice to know that Hope always has someone around to protect her and eventually catch her when she falls. The Botox is still working nicely, but we are approaching 2 weeks. Hoping for the best. If it does continue to work, Hope will be able to walk while holding onto a harness with the dog. That would be great! The dog will be able to pick up her cup, bring her walker to her, open doors, turn on lights, help her balance at the counter while brushing her teeth, etc. It will take some adjustment but will be wonderful in about 6 months when they are a well oiled machine. She has spent some time with larger dogs and no longer has the fear she did before. Hopefully this time around she will be able to give the dog some commands with authority. Not sure what kind of dog but I anticipate another golden. I will of course take pictures and videos when we get the dog.
For anyone that doesn't know, I have short hair! Loving it! I have had so many compliments. Apparently I look younger and spunky! Yeah!
I have to study for a huge test now. A lab practical on muscles. If you are a doctor going to school you have a semester to learn all of the muscles. Apparently as an OTA going to school you only get 3 weeks to learn all of them and what they do. Thank God we don't have to remember the insertion and origin as well!
Hope everyone is well! Thank you everyone for your continued support!
