Doctors and lawyers. Their whole world revolves around them. Seriously though, most doctors are very busy people who deal with matters of life and death every day so what is so important and urgent to us is probably not seen that way by them. If he is like most doctors I've met, the nurses do the remembering for him anyway.

At 6:30 pm it is probably too late to call tonight but maybe not. Most doctors have an answering service that you can leave a message with or contact him in case of emergency. If not tonight I would definitely call in the morning.

I can understand why you feel worse. If you are like me minutes seem like hours and we are so scared that any potential problem seems insurmountable. This is not a sign that you are unfixable at all though. The question of why he didn't call has probably been answered in your mind a thousand times and none of them encouraging. Probably none of them right either.

In the mean time I would highly suggest you call one of your friends or your sister. Maybe have them over for dinner? Or go out if you feel up to it (although I suppose it would be about 9:30 pm there now). They support you and this may the time for that support to step in.

We're here too if you need to talk to get your mind off it. Please let us know how it goes.
