Well – Yay me! I have an appointment with my old family doctor on Monday morning. It’s a family practice unit attached to a teaching hospital and they have historically been at the forefront of medical knowledge, so I am not overly concerned that I will be brushed off as I’ve heard some are when they first talk to their docs.

This is the fastest I’ve moved on anything in ages! Helped to talk to my mom last night. Doesn’t matter how old we get, moms have a way of motivating us!

Any suggestions on how to approach this first vist? I’ve let them know that I’m coming in to discuss the first steps to an ADHD assessment, but is there anything else I should prepare before I go?
