Re: NWQOTD Tuesday, October 26th

I haven't had any serious appointments really...usually I ask my Mommy but now that DH is around I would definitely want him there...my Mom is soooo squeamish, she is NO help when all the scary things come!! I took her with me when I had to get bloods drawn and instead of sticking by me and holding my hand she ran out of the room!!!

Re: NWQOTD Tuesday, October 26th

The only time so far the DH has gone to a doctors appointment with me is when I have to see my eyedoctor. I have major eye issues so I always get my eyes dilated so I can't go by myself.

Other then that I prefer to go by myself.

Re: NWQOTD Tuesday, October 26th

For a regular check up I would never ask DH to go. I was in the hospital once and DH stayed with me the whole time for that.

Re: NWQOTD Tuesday, October 26th

Ive only had to bring DH with me one time (thank goodness) which was for the D&C. I was sooooo happy he was there. He was so comforting at the very worst i probably ever was. It was a real bad time for both of us. But thankfully we had each other to lean on.

Re: NWQOTD Tuesday, October 26th

when i went for my consult with the surgeon before i had my thyroid surgery, DH came with me. he also took me to have my operation and waited while it was going on.

if i have a cold, no, i don't need/want him with me. i've learned after going through the non-routine stuff that i should 'save' my requests for the important times!

Re: NWQOTD Tuesday, October 26th

I wanted to add that I did at the last minute call DH to meet me at the doctors office. He took the long way to get there and they called me in for my test. I asked if I could wait and when I got back to the waiting room he was there. I couldn't even see him during the test, but it was very reassuring to have him there. I guess it worked out perfectly since I can't stand his waiting room etiquette or lack there of.

Re: NWQOTD Tuesday, October 26th

As much as I would love DH to go with me to appointments. My mom is usually the one I bring with me to the oncologist and stuff because she helps me to remember questions that need to be asked.

Re: NWQOTD Tuesday, October 26th

I have to bring him since I tend to faint! I hate going to the Dr. I have severe anxiety attacks.
