"just sitting in the waiting room" is still a strong source of support for your spouse. Mine doesn't want to go in to the exam room w/me, but having him drive me to and from the specialist's office, a round trip of 180 miles is not only reassuring to me but nearly a necessity since that much driving in one day along w/the stress of a doctor visit is extremely tiring. When my husb can't go with me, I've drafted my teen dghtr who doesn't mind the opportunity to get behind the wheel and the chance to go shopping in the larger metropolitan area and/or take in a movie or a play. We make my dr. visits a peripheral event to plans for the mall or entertainment. She is also getting important driving experience in city driving which is another plus.

Your both right. I have just realized by reading Nancy's message that she is right I should go and I must admit sometimes I use the factthatDick is reluctant to have me there as an excuse not to go. That is wrong. It is my responsibilty to be there even if it is just for moral support.I will be more insistent in the future and make it a point to go even if I just sit in the waiting room.
