Hi tos8 -- sorry about your increase in seizures.

I recorded "Dogs with Jobs" and watched one episode last week that showed a lady who got a trained dog to help her get back up when she fell. He would hold very still so she could put her weight on him and stand back up.

Turns out that he was so smart that he trained himself to alert her to when she was going to seize! She lived alone and didn't even dare to leave her trailer until she got this wonderful doggie!

Having just buried a niece last week who apparently died of a seizure (wasn't taking her meds), I would encourage you to do whatever you can to get a service dog.

Here's a website I found: http://www.4pawsforability.org/

Good luck to you in your quest!
