all right, I think I've got things worked out

I made another appt at Cleveland Clinic.  My partner is going to go with me, but the only day he can go is on a Monday, so the next available Monday appt is not until May 21.  But I feel like at least if there is a light at the end of the tunnel, I can make it until then.  At least they didn't complain about me missing the first appointment.

Thanks to everyone for putting up with me the last couple of days.

Thats good news Kelly!!!

So happy to hear that Kelly!

 Good for you, Kelly! 

Yay!  SO happy to hear that!  Must feel good to be making some progress.

Glad to see that you are giving them another try .

Hope they are able to help you.

 I'm glad to hear it! Be sure one of you navigates and the other drives--unless your partner wants to both nav and drive. 

The 21st will be here before you know it. 

 I am truly happy that is has worked out and your partner is able to go.  It's a bit of a stretch when you are in so much pain but you will make it fine.

I suffer from terrible anxiety when I go any place new to me.  I love using Google maps. I pull up the street view and it's like I am walking down the street able to see how everything looks before I get there.  Silly I guess but it makes me feel better so I go with it. 

 Yeah Kelly! I am so glad you dove back in, I know that you will get real answers. Hang in there! It will be kinda like those of us waiting for a surgery and a new life (yours without pain)!
