Remember how I was supposed to have my specialist's appointment on the 18th of December? Well the other day I got this letter in the mail telling me that my appointment had been moved from the 18th to the 21st. This brought a nice mix of both rage and disappointment. The 21st is five whole days after I'm done exams. So either I would have to go home and come back or stay in the hammer for a very long time. I was not so excited about either option.
I had to call the Dr's office to confirm that I knew about this date change. So yesterday I called and while I was talking with the receptionist I mentioned that the appointment was so far after I was done exams, and that I'm not at all from this area and that my Mom has limited mobility and I really need to go home and help get Christmas going, etc, and if there was anything she could do to get me in earlier it would be really appreciated, but that I knew I was on the low end of the pole for getting a cancellation. She heard my plea and told me that would have loved to give me something earlier, but that she just didn't have anything. She said it would be especially hard because I have an hour long appointment and those very rarely get cancelled. But she said she would put a note in the books just in case. I thanked her for her time and that was that.
Ten minutes later the phone rang. It was Dr Gibson's office. A pre-op had cancelled and I could have my hour on....wait for it....November 23rd! Woooo! I'm pretty excited. Thought I should share.
