It is possible that they routinely make appointments far out in the future pending test results and after the office is notified that the tests are completed they check the schedule for current openings. That would not be unusual behavior for my physician offices. They don't like to waste time with appointments when the ordered test results aren't complete.
Never goes smooth. How come it never goes smooth?

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
I don't blame you for freaking out, Steph.

Also, what WS said! I would be freaking out too, just wanted to point out that in my experience with lots of doctors this does happen for mundane reasons.

I couldn't think of a single mundane reason for moving up an appointment, so THANK YOU. Seriously.

I know I'm tense and upset right now, but I feel like I would react this way on a good day: on FB I referred to having T. Rex arms after lifting weights at the gym, and one guy cannot understand why I would be sore and is trying to fix my gym routine. He asked if I stretch after lifting.
WHY NO WHAT IS THIS THING YOU CALL "STRETCHING" I HAVE NEVER HEARD OF IT.
He just seems stunned that anyone would ever be sore after a workout and needs to mansplain at me about it. I'm about to tell him to go read some weightlifting forums and ask THEM if they stretch.

Oh, Steph. I'm so sorry this has been so stressful on every level. I'm hoping that the rescheduled appointment helps get answers quicker and not more stress.
I am having such a hard time bouncing back from what I am calling the "unfortunate incident." I can't focus or think clearly (let alone write.) I feel like such a loser. Fuck this shit.

I think that's a normal reaction, Nora. NOT a loser reaction. It's barely been 24 hours. Give yourself a little more time.

What Teppy said. It's completely normal to still be freaked out.

I'm thinking yours is the normal reaction. It's not like you're an embedded war correspondent who can go "Hm, they're starting early today, I wonder if they have to be somewhere later?"
