Hi Kaye,

I think that Dick is under the misteaken idea that he has a " service dog " and

so is allowed to have the dog while he, Dick, is in the hospital. The reality

is that the dog has aquired a vehicle, Dick, that thus allows himself, the

dog, to visit new places and make new friends.

Hi Kaye;

I almost missed your posting; so many to read.

Yes, Alan comes and stays with me while in the hospital. I'm

disabled and Alan is a service dog.

Poncho;

You lost me in your posting from the beginning. I am disabled and

Alan is a service dog. Hence, he goes where I go unless his presence

results in a fundamental change in the manner in which the hospital

provides services. So far, they say he does not. Remember, he, nor

I, have been in the operating room yet.

Hi Dick,

Maybe it would be clear if I used " Alan's " name. My comment is that while you

think have " Alan " in the hospital for your needs, it's really that " Alan "

gets treated in the hospital better than you get treated. When was the last time

someone, a hospital employee, came into your room and offered you a special

treat to eat just to see you wag your tail?

Best wishes to you and Alan, Poncho - GA

Poncho when I was caring for my mother every time she was

hospitialized; and that was often, she would make me get a big bowl

of candy to put out for the nurses. She insisted that having it

there would bring them in more often. She was right, they came in to

check on her and grab a candy all the time. Speaking as a nurse with

a love of dogs if there were a service dog on the floor I would be

saving treats and visiting him; oh yeah and to check on Dick too. I

had a friend of mine who was in the hospital for a while, she made

her drop dead georgous brother stay with her, the nurses came in a

lot more often because of that as well.

It doesn't take away from the quality of care we provide as nurses,

but it sure does brighten up our day a little. We give alot of

ourselves to our profession with little percs, a bowl of candy, a hot

brother or a cute smart dog are the things we will talk about for

months.
