Something to Count Down to!

Good news! Or finally SOME news, haha. Friday afternoon I heard from a friend I made while going through the Options classes. She asked if I had received a call from Kaiser to schedule appointments...which I had not. I immediately called in (they've had trouble calling my cell phone in the past, because apparently it's an issue to call a long distance number, and it's easier to call my parent's house phone even though I've asked 10k times to call my cell, but that's another story) and spoke with a woman who sounded preoccupied and not too focused. After many "uhs" and "ums" and long pauses, she finally spit out that my file had been sent to my PCP, so she could review and clear my test results, and once they received it back I would be scheduled. I was pretty let down at the time, because I knew I'd have to wait through the weekend. In a turn of events, however, less than an hour later my dad let me know Kaiser called their house (surprise, surprise) to schedule me! Back on the phone again, and was able to schedule appointments to meet with the Bariatrician, and the Therapist (for the psych evaluation).

Here's the dates I have to count down til, for now:
March 9th- Bariatrician
March 26th- Pscyh Evaluation

So glad to hear things are (sort of) moving in the right direction for you! If it makes you feel any better, this is pretty much a mirror of my attempts to get Nyx's dentist, cardiologist and pediatrician on the same page for her upcoming oral surgery. I mean, seriously, why the hell don't these offices run more efficiently?!

Thanks! Ugh, definitely frustrating! I don't understand what is SO damned hard about everyone working in the same building being on the same page. They need us to get in there and slap some smart into them!
