SD, I live alone, so for pets I go alone. I'm the only person they've bonded with so that only makes sense.
For medical appointments, I always prefer to go alone. However, I might have to change my tune at some point and ask a friend to come with me to certain appointments, ask if I can record them on my phone, or ask if my sister can listen in on the phone. So far I'm able to remember what we talked about just fine but I worry that might change. My problems with aphasia continue to get worse, although at a slow pace.
Even when I was going to see the oncologist for the first time, I went alone. If I were married or had a significant other, that would change the equation because I would take their needs and wants and feelings into account. My sisters live 5+ hours away, so I don't have to take their feelings into account.
