@lindakbe Such good news about your sister! Take some time right now and think over the past few weeks and what may have bothered you or a question you may have had. Make a list of all your questions and concerns, grouping them into topics. But, try to be concise since your visit may be short. And write down the answers!! Also, try to sit just behind your sister so that she cannot look to your for answers. She is there to talk with the doctor!
When you are at the check in/check out desk, ask if they have a portal . Doctors will usually put a summary on the portal so you can read it.
Keep all these papers, questions, answers, etc in a folder so you can refer to it later, or whenever you wish.
Just as an afterthought; Mayo Clinic has good information on the non-medical management of dementia. You can find it by going to the bottom of this page to the blue area. As you scroll down, you will find MayoClinic.org (in blue). Click on it and a search page will open. Type ‘dementia’ in the search box and all sorts of information will come up. Try it!
Do you think all this sounds reasonable? Hope to hear from you on Monday!
