Hi @talllady1958.
Another idea is to use your phone to include someone from home in your appointment. I have done this.
I called and asked ahead of time and they assured me it would not be a problem. My cell phone had problems finding a signal in the Clinic and my doctor used the phone from our exam room. This way my husband participated in my appointment from home.

@jlharsh great idea I have my pre-first appointment meeting tomorrow on the phone so I may talk to them about that and see if my brother and his wife might be available at least for part of them. I am set up in the portal and they've got my
my chart and all that stuff access so that's good and I'm very thankful to be getting in here and hopeful for a good outcome.
