Hope you get on ok, its a good idea to take your hubby with you, 4 ears are better than 2 when it comes to remembering what has been said afterwards!

Hello, I hope you get on well at the docs tomorrow. Its good that your husband can be their with you, not only is it a question of giving the doc his view of how you are, but it will help you to remember things and feel more confident. Also its good to include your partner, it helps me when my husband comes with me. After all they have to go through it with us.
Good luck and I hope you both get on well with the doc.

Hi Wendylou
Just wondering how you got on? As Misty said it really helps to take someone along. I think they take you more serioulsy then and yes you might be able to remember what GP said!
Good luck if the apt is later

Hi Wendy
First of all you are not going on at all - we all wish to know how your appointment went and it would appear that it was a beneficial visit. I am so pleased for you. It makes all the difference doesn't it, to be listened to and the gp showing a genuine interest and understanding of how you are feeling and why. Let's hope you do not have to wait too long for the xray appointment or the physio one either.
Thank you very much for letting us know and please keep us posted and remember we are interested in your wellbeing so never think or say you are "going on".
Chin up,
Luv
