In reply to pre-consult checklist?, posted by floatingbridge on January 24, 2010, at 4:47:17
You sound very prepared, fb. I think bringing your husband sounds like a great idea. Will they let him in with you at your appointment? Even if he only sits in the waiting room while you're in there, at least you could gets hugs and reassurance before going in and after coming out. I think there's a really good argument for him to accompany you during the actual consult, though, since he might notice things you're not aware of that would be helpful in your assessment. I like the idea of bringing a recorder too, or at least a notebook. Do you have a list of questions to ask?
I know you're going to a different clinic than Peanut, so I really hope you get more out of your experience than she did. Will this just be a drive for you? That would certainly make it less stressful.
