Another great example of being proactive and taking control from Jacqui.

Hello, it’s Jacqui from Stockport near Manchester. Happy new year, everybody!

Well, I was called in to the doctors for the routine blood tests, they were doing it early this year. Anyway, I got a text to say, could I make an appointment with the Sister to discuss the results. So I thought to myself: you know, I’m going to go up there, they’re going to talk to me, I’ve got to come home, and I’m not going to be able to remember a word she said.

So, this time I emailed them and said: thank you for the results, you know, that I’m getting the results, but, due to the Alzheimer’s, I won’t remember a thing she said on the phone, please could you discuss it over email. And I thought that this was very good of me, because that was the method that is better for me.

Anyway, I’m waiting for them to do it, because obviously she’s not in every day now, so I’ll have to wait for her to discuss it with me. But I was quite chuffed with myself, that I had done it the way that’s best for me.

Take care. Bye!
