New tentative date: August 18

[cjsmith]

The woman who does the scheduling did comb through the schedule and did call me at work. She's got me down for August 18 and there's a possibility of a cancellation on August 4. I told her I owed her homemade cookies for combing through the schedule like that.

Ooo, I'm so hoping for August 4. (rfrench, if this schedule uncertainty means you can't drive me on short notice, I can take a cab or something. August 4!!)

Although the "too busy" excuse is likely to be the only one that's nearly always present, I suspect that others are sometimes present too. Especially the "I control the information so I have the power and make the decisions" and the insulting "you couldn't possibly understand". And probably even the occasional "my reasons are icky and due to HMO regulations and I don't want you to see that ugliness".

I always want more info too -- about all aspects.

I also agree that these problems portend poorly for the future! Especially *my* future, since I feel I have a high likelihood of becoming one of those older high-maintainance people -- a scary, scary thought. Made all the scarier for my one-day peek into an especially HORRIBLE nursing home. Aaaaaack!

Like you, I suspect there are other reasons too.

And like you, I feel I have a high likelihood of becoming a high-maintenance patient at some point. My family history even tells me some of the likely causes. Perhaps with luck I can stave those off long enough that something quick gets me first.
