Hello Dave
Not wishing to nag, but have a think about getting that list together (we can help you if you like)...
It's so easy to forget mentioning this or that symptom to the Docs, and wouldn't you know it,
you remember it 5 minutes later..... when you are on your way home.
You've already been told by others, write a letter and pass to the Consultant (or his/her nurse)
on the day of Mrs Dave's appointment.
You are not betraying confidence, you are helping, both of you.
I think the first thing you (I know I did) should say is that if the Doctor/Nurse asks Mrs D,
x y z, the answer given might not be the true answer. At least pre-warn the Doctor.
You said that Mrs D does not cook / clean house etc.... this is significant, and the Doc should know.
It might seem a little mean , but unfortunately, you are going to have to (for the appointment)
concentrate on the negative. The Doctors have no way of knowing what Mrs D can and cannot do...
There are going to be several 'should I mention' this/ that ?
Mention as much as you can, no matter how small ....
Ask your son (maybe his girlfriend too) about mum and the things she can and cant do.
Oh, and if you can ask the Doc for their secretary e-mail address.
Take care
