yeah, i don't know what i was thinking. it was all a little too good and calm for a while. i had called a doctor last week and for the first time, in a couple weeks or so, had breathed in a deep breath. i found a doctor and he is a specialist in what i needed him to be. he is world renowned for his methods in treating this and that, AND he had a good bedside manner. AND he worked in a hospital and had medical technology on his side. he was so good, in fact, that he was booked 6 months out. but while i was on the phone with his nurse, he had a new patient cancellation! i hadn't thought a thing about it since then.
then today...well...i got a call that there was an emergency and he wouldn't be able to see people for 2 weeks, so this was a notification of my cancellation. i talked to the scheduler and unfortunately, at this time, the first appointment that he has now is January 20th.
there are a couple reasons why this doesn't work in my land...they may seem little and petty, but really, they are important to me.
1. my surgery would be covered by insurance if i have it this year. i don't have money to cover this next year.
2. i'll be on break from school from December 7th to January 11th. i do NOT want to be recovering from anything during school/work. i can barely keep afloat without that in the mix....
so, i'm still waiting for a call from the other guys nurse...not expecting craziness, but maybe she'll have a good referral for someone else. apparently, this hospital is really high in the women's health department, and none of the docs have openings before the end of January.
it'll be o.k. again. i know, i'll find someone great. but until then, i'm having to remind myself to take deep breaths

I want to say something supportive & intelligent, but right now my brain simply isn't working..
I do pray & send good thoughts & hope you are able to get this worked out without too much stress.
Breathing is good. :) (Have you ever tried EFT?) -

Oh darlin'. Hang in there. I've been shuffling patients around all last month, trying to get people in for surgery before the end of the year and mine aren't even emergencies. It'll happen.

Good luck. I know the stress of doctors and such way too well. I hope that everything will work out.
