Got my Appeal date

I got a hearing for my Appeal on January 12th at 2:00. Anyone have any advice or information that will help ease my nervousness? What's an appeal like? I'm nervous because this could be it. This will put me at half way. I will be so happy to be at half way in this process. It's just making it past the first hurdle that makes it so hard.

The odd thing is I have my monthly follow up appointment with my Doctor the same day at 3:00. I was wondering if I should work it out so my Doctor can talk on my behalf. Anyone think that would be a good idea?

My head is swimming with the things I need to work out making it hard to focus on anything else. I feel like a cartoon charterer that gnawed their fingernails down to the bone

Always, Thanks for listening
