Thank you. #84

Today I am thankful for perfect timing. So we have been waiting on a specialist appointment for Cameron for the last 10 months and it has become a bit of a stress point for me. On December 23 we finally got the letter in the mail with the appointment dates. The appointments were set for August 11 and September 16. When I saw these dates I felt like crying, I was happy that we finally had the appointments but I was stressed that after 9 months of waiting it was going to be another 9 months. I am not a patient person so this didn’t sit well with me. On the letter it said that we could call to be put on the cancellation list but as we know there is no guarantee that that will speed things up AND they were away until today on Christmas Holidays. 🙁 Which brings us to today. The cancellation was my only chance at speeding things up so I phoned. I wasn’t expecting much if anything, but as I said at the beginning everything worked out… PERFECT. The secretary offered us an appointment for… tomorrow. She said someone had just canceled and as I was calling I could have the appointment. I was stunned, instead of having to wait another 9+ months for the first appointment we will only have to wait until 1 day. She then said she could also offer us a spot in March for the second appointment. I was beside myself. I literally danced in my kitchen and it was a challenge to not cry from the release of stress knowing that things will finally get started. I am so thankful for the perfect timing. If I had called 30 minutes earlier or later the appointment might have gone to someone else, but I didn’t. For some reason I decided to call then and not to wait. I am also thankful for the stress relief, the hope for answers and the promise of new direction that this brings with it. I feel like I can breath a little easier and like tomorrow looks a little brighter.
