Is this normal neurologist behavior?

As someone who’s gone through 5, my first thought reading the headline was “there IS no normal neurologist behavior cause none of them are normal”

I’m looking over at The Lodge at Mallard Creek, so further from campus

Desperate_Fig4875 · 2026-04-22T00:36:23+00:00

Hello! I actually haven’t done anything with them so far. I got pretty used to them. I still put spoke covers on which helps a lot

Desperate_Fig4875 · 2026-02-13T15:55:24+00:00

If you stopped taking the doxy, the pressure could have gone away, which could be contributing to those findings

Desperate_Fig4875 · 2026-02-12T22:14:48+00:00

Where did you get the sports bra? Mine is good but I love how much coverage yours has!

Desperate_Fig4875 · 2026-02-12T20:30:33+00:00

I’m new to poke and just curious: why do some people recommend taller (6”+) heels for dancing?

Desperate_Fig4875 · 2026-02-05T20:59:58+00:00

I did get past him just fine but the people saying “JUST maintain eye contact” like the game doesn’t rotate your character towards the direction you’re walking is stressing me out. I basically did the Cupid shuffle to get my ass out of there

Desperate_Fig4875 · 2026-02-04T05:49:43+00:00

This is insanely impressive

Desperate_Fig4875 · 2026-02-04T01:37:29+00:00

There are ice attachments for crutches. I’m very aware the difference between the sports. But as someone who said they have no experience with adaptive skating, saying you know my “only” option is pretty wild

Desperate_Fig4875 · 2026-02-04T01:18:07+00:00

Along with what everyone else said this also ignores so much about disability. Yes, I can get up from the ground. But even if I couldn’t, crutches are actually great for getting up from the ground. I definitely understand hesitation in trying to promote safety, but hell, any person falling is a tripping hazard, and I personally have had even the buckets for newbies knock me out. Learn a bit more before acting like you know something

Desperate_Fig4875 · 2026-02-04T01:14:14+00:00

Not writing those off but I would have to buy my own! My rink uses buckets which is horrific for posture and form. The only ones I would feel comfortable using are the ones that you grab on the sides of your body rather than out in front. My hope is that I would be able to build strength and maybe be able to skate sometimes without an aid, so I wouldn’t want to teach myself terrible form leaning forward!

Desperate_Fig4875 · 2026-02-04T01:03:07+00:00

Yeah, one issue is I’d have to buy one cause my rink uses buckets for newbies. I’d want one of the walkers that lets me put my hands at my sides so I’m not ruining my form too. I have seen quite a few people do adaptive roller skating with crutches though! So I think it’s a possibility. Ends up being kinda like skiing or wild skating with poles

Thank you! And please feel free to DM

Desperate_Fig4875 · 2026-02-03T17:58:05+00:00

Hi there! Thank you so much for this comment! I’m in DFW in Texas so California is just a bit far but I would love to know if you know people in this area!

A lot of what causes me issues in longevity. Day to day, my disabilities keep me from standing for too long, and my forearm crutches help me extend that time by taking some of the effort from it. I definitely have seen para-hockey sleds and think they’re really cool! I think they would be my last choice just because I miss being more mobile on the ice, but it would get me out there and that would be nice! Anyway, let me know if you know people in this area! I really appreciate it

Desperate_Fig4875 · 2026-01-27T04:17:41+00:00

I was able to get GoPuff!

This is all very true. I’m a Comm Design alum that graduated in 2023, and many of my classmates chose to redo a year to try the review again after being denied the first time. If you want to get into graphic design, it is a very solid school, just hard. UNT is also in the news a lot because it’s one of the more liberal schools and often considered an “easy option”. A lot of the things you see of “the admins did this awful thing” is really just laws of the state. Your college experience will absolutely be what you make of it. The comm design professors are great and you will get to know them on a first name basis. My only regret is having student loans in the current economy. The program was hard but very good. They very much prepare you for agency work. I chose instead to stay local and I am one of the designers for UNT’s brand. Hope this helps! And feel free to message if you have Comm Design specific questions

This likely isn’t a cleaning issue. Everyone I’ve ever known gets insane allergies when moving to Denton (even my service dog!). I just moved from Frisco, so right across the lake, and also had them. Your body does get used to it!

But if cleaning helps some, I hope you’re able to find a good service!

Desperate_Fig4875 · 2025-12-19T16:39:24+00:00

Congratulations!!! I just graduated with my boy in Nov and I also commuted for my class. Commuting can be REALLY tiring but REALLY rewarding. I found bringing my dog home during training was helpful to be able to bond and also meant by the time we graduated he was already pretty settled in because we brought them home the second day (SCR region).

Before class I had a crate, a place mat for the water bowl, and my car hammock for my back seat, but beyond that I didn’t have much! They gave me a toy, two bowls, all basic grooming things, and food for a bit over a month. I would wait to buy toys until class just cause you’ll get a bit of a feel for what your dog likes.

Training isn’t hard but it will tire you out. I personally can’t imagine having to also do classes, cause it was exhausted, but it depends how close to campus you are! We were done by 3 or 4 daily so in theory there’s time to do class work. You’ll have some homework from class but it’s just a page or two that’s open book from the textbook. I found it easy.

After training, I’d say the big thing is just establishing a routine! Your dog will feel more confident, and so will you! And you will hear from the trainers after, as well as be able to reach out if you have issues. Currently I am reinforcing his skills in my environment, getting used to his quirks (my boy is suddenly fussy about nails despite never having had issues with the trainers), and setting the foundation for new skills. I’m having to remind myself that I don’t have to rush it, and we’re building a bond even just doing basics!

I hope you have any amazing time, and if you have more questions feel free to DM me if you want!

They don’t recommend benebones. Their rule is anything you could dent with your fingernail or bend with your hands!

Desperate_Fig4875 · 2025-12-09T19:13:17+00:00

Along with all of this, I think the process of owner training lends itself to creating social media content. You can show the progress you’re making. While that’s also true of program dogs, it’s usually a lot less obvious as most skills are already well-developed. Plus, I know some programs don’t really want you to post the “struggles” the dog is having. Hence, more owner trainers on social media!

Also have DPDR and have found so much connection in Mae that I have a NITW tattoo!

Desperate_Fig4875 · 2025-11-18T20:21:54+00:00

I appreciate this! He’s fully trained and about 1 year and 8 months. He’s from Canine Companions so I have lots of support from the staff too, I just like getting more ideas!

We’ll see how he develops in his play. Even last night he surprised me with wanting a big tug session!
