I finally made my appointment!!! I can't believe how hard they make it these days to find doctors who are accepting new patients (and that becomes 10 times harder for people like me who get extremely anxious about making phone calls) but I FINALLY DID IT! Thank you all for your encouraging messages. Now that I got THAT part out of the way, I feel like I'm already halfway there. And thanks to everyone's advice I'm not nearly as scared about the second half (aka the actual appointment) as I was before. Thank you all so much!
