Dinah,
I agree with Larry. You might even want to call the doctor and have a discussion with him before the visit on Tuesday. That way the doctor would be aware of your concerns and what to look for, questions to ask, etc. and it may help you avoid the emotional strain of having to deal with your mother and her unwillingness to share or accept that there is a need for help at the visit.

> Dinah, if you can tip the doctor off to your concerns, and get your dad alone with the doctor for a good examination, I think that would be a really good idea. I'm sure if your mom accompanies your dad into the exam room, things won't get said that need saying.
