I'm sure that if you explain to the doctor that you'd feel better if your spouse went with you, your doctor would be more than happy to accommodate you. ;-)
Right again Dee! I got tired of asking DH, "what did the dr say about your so and so that you've been complaining about for weeks? And him answering, I didn't tell him about it!" So, like I did with my children, I just go back with him and I know all issues are covered!
