Guest guest Posted June 10, 2006 Report Share Posted June 10, 2006 When I had my orientation, it was not only allowed but encouraged. There are a couple of reasons for this. One is that it is easy to miss something that was said that the other person caught. Also, it is helpful to have your support person know what to expect post-op. It can also reassure the support person and include him/her in the process. At 21:26 06/09/2006, Connie wrote: >So does anyone know if we can bring a support person/spouse to the >orientation?

Guest guest Posted June 13, 2006 Report Share Posted June 13, 2006 I am sure you have gotten replies by now but I wanted to throw my 2cents in. I tool my daughter with me. She is 29 and has been my biggest supporter. She remembered all the things I forgot so between the two of us I got ALL the information. I think it is a great idea to take someone.
