Do we get a 'lockdown dog' to help our disabled child?
from Access All: Disability News and Mental Health · host BBC Sounds
Our lockdown couple Kate and Holly adopted a toddler with restricted growth during the pandemic. She calms down around dogs, but does she really need therapeutic assistance from an animal? And we drop back in on Kate's story about living with Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome whilst mostly shielding. She has been offered an operation to help her endometriosis and wonders if she should have paid more attention to a diagnosis of something called FND. The podcast also witnesses Kate's first attempt at using hormone replacement gel as she wonders where to put it (Prepare for cheeky humor) If you've enjoyed this series and have any advice or thoughts to share with Kate, please email [email protected] Produced by Amy Elizabeth.
