Joined: May 2002 Posts: 2,152 | I strongly suggest someone go with your father to his appointment and not because he is 85. We always recommend a second set of ears because there is so much new information to absorb. If that is not possible, have him take a tape recorder so you and he can go over what was said after the appointment.
Take care,
Eileen
