    Rose Sottilo replied to the topic Do You Identify With Being 'Disabled'? in the forum Diagnosis​ ​Information​ ​and​ ​General​ ​Questions 2 years, 10 months ago

    Rose Sottilo replied to the topic Having Someone Accompany You to Medical Appointments in the forum Upcoming Medical Appointments: Q&As 2 years, 11 months ago

    I always have either hubby or SIL with me for all pulmonologist and cardiologist appointments. They are there to take notes and ask for answers to questions I have writen down in the weeks prior to the appointments. It helps a lot, I tend to forget about the details, but they have it all down on paper.
