We declined it with Ewan and She phoned today to see if we wanted the Primary visit and hearing check. They had it on record that we declined it last time.
I dont know what it is with this HV but i just cannot get on with her, with Ewan she kept pointing out the domestic violence number at the back of the red book and asking if everything was ok at home, (OH had recently had quite a heated arguement with our local doctors over their after care of me once i'd had Ewan - they called me in to check blood pressure coz it was urgent, but then said on we cant fit you in untill after the weekend?? um you just said urgent... even though at the time i had the MW coming out every day checking my bp!) so obviously they had this on record and she just makes me feel like a jibbering wreck, i'm not the most confident at the best of times.
I asked what the primary visit involves and to be honest it all sounds like fairly basic stuff, i.e cot death, mothers health, feeding, weaning... i feel that her time would be best given to a new mum who really needs the advice.
I'd like to think that i am pretty up on things and have common sense, although not medically trained with humans i;ve gained alot from my veterinary experience.
Anyway i'm waffling, she just made me feel a bit guilty for not accepting the primary visit and is sending a form for me to fill in declining.
Ewan never had the hearing test and he is fine.
Was a wrong to decline? or should i trust my own judgement that i am ok.
