Well I had a great follow-ups visit with my Neurologist yesterday and I had quite the chat with him. I told him that there's been no further incidents of seizures ( nocturnal) to report since last August/ September. I had been doing battle with a UTI, and I absolutely believe that's what caused my seizures last August/September. So he was quite willing to write a letter to approve me to get my DL reinstated. I was absolutely impressed with his trust in me.
When I had arrived at the Epilepsy Clinic at Foothills Epilepsy Clinic in Calgary, I had noticed a young woman with a Service dog come up and get off of the elevator. She went back downstairs and came back up a while later. People that were waiting to be seen had heard someone mention about I need a cold water. It was then that people were getting up to look at her having an Aura ???? She felt like she was going to have a seizure and her precious service dog was laid out across her lap to comfort her. It was absolutely heartbreaking to see her so hyper and staff were tending to her. All I could think was about how my participation with Cypress Canine Society in Medicine Hat Alberta, needs to be kept going. As we were offering owner dog training for people who have a dog, to go through the training process to become certified Service Dog's. This will take a lot of stress off of people who need a Service Dog to get their's trained. I'm going to be talking to the founder, as this is a must do.
But yes I did have a wonderful visit with my Neurologist and a wonderful trip back home. It made for a long day but definitely enjoyable.
