He filled out the permission form last summer after he had the staph infection on his skin and the doctor is already aware. My husband came in a couple times with very strong alcohol on his breath. I try and be careful when I tell people about it because there is a tendency of prejudice — even with physicians. Alcoholism is not a respecter of persons. My husband is a very talented and wonderful man. He has a disease just like any other disease. Although he definitely can be an extreme jerk sometimes when he drinks and I HATE it.
But right now I am trying to focus on this doctor appt. He knows I am trying to get answers on what to ask at this doctor appt which is in just a few hours, yikes!
