    Hi Jenny!
    BRILLIANT news!! I am so pleased.
    You know I think you will be ok and taht the problems may well speak for themselves. However write anything you can think of now.
    e.g what meds can he have?? (he needs better)
    is he tired
    has he got a temperature
    where the pain is
    what helps
    what makes it worse
    how long it has been goin on
    etc
    And take someone else with you too (hubby? grandaparent) you will forget what was said.
    BEST WISHES Jordan
    Love

    Remember to mention his knees were locking up.Why was this happening and how can it be remedied.Ask if he needs anymore medication now or if they will be considering him for more in the near future.
    You might like to be referred to an occupational therapist and can ask about that.
    Dont forget to ask about his excercise routine.Should he be attempting it if in severe pain.
    Write it all down so you dont forget.Good luck and take care

    Hello, Just to wish you and Jordan Good Luck for tomorrow. I think as the others have said, that writing things down is a really good idea, you don't want to get out and find that the thing you really wanted to ask about, is something you've forgotten (thats often what I do :oops: my other trick is leaving the list at home :oops:) Anyway, I am so glad that you are moving things along, it must be hard for and a great strain, but hopefully, you will get some help now. Love Sue xxx
