I am looking up words the Dr.'s write in reports in a medical dict. just to understand. When they talk with us it is put into words we can understand but I tend to forget the details after leaving the meeting.... So reading the reports tells the whole story I am finding. My sister tape recorded the "after surgery" talk and I am so glad she did as I didn't remember a lot of what he said. Was very helpful. We find out tomorrow if I have been worrying for nothing - hope so!
