@kartwk, how did the wellness check up go? Were you able to bring your concerns to his doctor?

Colleen thank you for thinking about me. It didn't go as well as I had hoped, even with my expressing my concerns. I am so disappointed.
I believe all this anxiety is why I came down with a bad case of the flue even though I had the flu shot in Oct. I understand it wasn't a good match.

Perhaps a new doctor is in order, one that specializes in older people. I get the impression that a Doc. that specializes in family practice looks on many things as just getting old. Whereas a doc that specializes in geriatrics KNOWS more about elderly people like us. That is what I am looking into.

No where, no how is H going to agree to go to a neurologist!

Going to start looking for a new Doc. If I make an appointment for me with one, he will follow along and do the same thing, so I won't have to explain why I am changing Docs.
