[QUOTE="catherinecherub, post: 124189"] Hi donbuzzin, Welcome to the forum. You have been given some very good advice here already and I would follow through with it straight away. By the time you go back in three month's time you could well be in control and will amaze your Dr. I think the medics forget that the initial diagnosis is a great shock to the recipient. Some take a softly, softly approach but, as you have found out, it can be delivered with very little thought as to your feelings. Most of us do not have any real knowledge of the condition and need more explanations at the beginning. There are education days but we do not get them soon enough in my opinion. It is probably all down to cost and waiting lists. We have all been where you are now and it seems very scary to begin with. This is a condition that requires self management and so we have to get to grips with it a.s.a.p. Any questions you need to ask then please do. Look forward to your postings. Catherine. [/QUOTE]
