I'm just a little excited...

Last Friday, I called Cleveland Clinic to ask them about the clinic and what an undiagnosed (and very confused) person like me should do.  They were very nice and made me a patient (!) and told me to go ahead and fax my symptoms, allergies, etc. to a guy named "Antoine."  Of course, I had to wait until the holiday weekend was over, so...

On Tuesday, I faxed my 2 page write up to Cleveland Clinic, knowing that I just had to wait to hear back (which can take a very long time when it comes to medical places).

On Thursday, I got a map of Cleveland Clinic in the mail!  They also sent a packet for me to fill out, but I was more excited about the map.

Today... the  "Antoine" guy called me and made an appointment for me to come on August 18th!  Now we just have to wait to get my actual schedule of the specialists that they want me to see while I'm there!!!

I really can't explain how much of a relief it is to know that I have an appointment there before I head back to school!  If I had a prize for fastest/easiest place to make an appointment with the nicest/most helpful people to talk to... Cleveland Clinic would win it.  I also get to set up my online health thing that they do, which I'm very excited about.  Seriously.  It'll keep track of all of my appointments, tests, medicine, prescription refills, etc.  Although I guess it's only exciting for sick people.

Of course, it's still stressful because we don't know what will happen when I'm at the clinic.  We don't know if they'll be able to figure me out.  I'm very thankful for getting an appointment in before school starts, though, so for now, I'll be thankful for that and try my best to just trust God with the rest!  I'm so excited about having the opportunity to go. Being sick and undiagnosed has gotten really old.

Oh, and remember how I said I was going to post pictures from when my family came to visit?  I didn't forget, but... right now I'm hungry...
