Senatorpenguin,
Yes, you were brave! I'm so glad you made the decision that would be best for you. . . caring for your needs is so important. OOOOOH, I know that anxious butterfly in the stomach feeling when it comes to meeting a stranger and knowing you'll be talking about personal stuff. Just keep reminding yourself of your bravery. You were brave enough to set up the appt, and you're brave enough to follow through on it! Hope it goes well for you!
