Words of wisdom my sister said decades ago which I have NEVER done - take a written list of things you need to know when visiting a doctor & write down what you are told.

Occasionally I ask Dr to write something for me (usually something like the name of the vitamin she want me to use cos I know I'll forget) & I'm always asking my physio to write down details of the exercise she recommends cos I know I won't remember (her stick figures are sooo cute!) but I've often returned home after visiting a doctor with something not mentioned or remembered. I had to make another visit once to get a Referral to the Specialist I was seeing a day or 2 later, which was the main reason I'd made the first appointment!

Good thing you have Pete to remember things for you.
