Dr Appointments

OMD! This morning was real busy. Mom had 2 dr appointments in a row. The first one was with her new pysch dr. I went with her and she was very proud of how good I did. She was not, however, very impressed with the dr. She said the dr did not seem to want to be there, was talking in a very monotone voice which is hard for my mom to hear and when she didn't know or understand one of the meds my mom takes did not show any interest at all when mom tried to show it to her. I did alert once because moms' anxiety levels started going up so I alerted her and kept nudging her so she paid attention to me and calmed down. Then we got back in the truck and went to get mom and dad each a coffee. Mom realized she forgot her wallet, which has the cards she carries on her in case anyone gives her a hassle about bringing me into businesses so we had to swing back by the apartment on our way to her next dr appointment. I though she would drop me off at home but no she left me in the truck and brought me with her to her next dr appointment too. She was very proud of how good I did there too. The nurse that started the appointment asked her if i'm friendly and said that the dr is really scared of dogs. So mom set it up with dad that he would keep me in a corner of the room that was as far away from the exam table as possible to make the dr feel more comfortable but I would still be there if I needed to alert her. The dr came in and towards the end of the exam started commenting about how well behaved I was being and how cute I am. During the whole exam I just stood there beside or in front of dad and watched what was going on with mom. I did start to struggle against dad a little at first and mom pointed out that it was because he was holding the leash to tight. As soon as he loosened up his hold on the leash and gave me a little slack I settled right down. Mom is going to get an appointment with another dr to see about getting her seizures under control if they can or at least lessen the number she has and the severity of them. She is also going to get bloodwork done. I'm not sure if I will be allowed to go with her to get bloodwork done or not. She said she will probably leave me home since that is a more sterile environment but she is going to check with others who use service dogs and see what they do or what they think about whether or not I would be allowed for something like that. She isn't looking forward to that though because she can't eat or drink anything(other then water) for 12 hours prior to getting the bloodwork done and she is terrified of needles.
