Moving away from vicious dogs.
A guy who had two very vicious pit bull dogs managed the house I moved into in San Jose and he delighted in intimation, and the dogs were used this way to make others feel uncomfortable around them. I wasn't introduced to the dogs until after I moved in. I suspect on purpose. He turned out to be a very unfriendly and sick person. The dogs were chained up in the back yard, definitely not the way I would treat any animal, and I think this was on purpose by him to make them meaner. Every time I walked into the house they would charge the glass sliding door barking and snarling, what a way to come home. You need to know, that at this time I was not moving very well and felt very vulnerable regarding defending myself against anything or anyone. I stayed there for about a month, and then the other roommate and I started discussing finding our own place, because he was not happy about the situation either. We were fortunate to find a two-bedroom apartment only three blocks from Valley Medical Center, making it easier for me to get to my rehab appointments. This was in the middle of summer with many days in the 90's and above. I was still wearing my pressure garment, which was bad enough with the heat, but I had lost around 65% of my sweat glands due to the third degree burns. Some people regenerate sweat glands; about 50% of burn patients do so, but not me. Therefore, heat was a real enemy for me. I found out if I was in a very warm situation, I could get very sick due to internal heat not being able to dissipate normally through sweats glands I no longer had. This has been an ongoing problem to this day.
