Keep a spiral notebook handy with the names and contact information of the people involved in your loved one's care. Include all health care providers’ contact information as well. During appointments, ask questions, and ask lots of them! Ask questions about the disease, or condition, such as how long the recovery time is or whether physical therapy is indicated. Write down all the answers in the notebook so you can reference it later as needed.
