As a follow-up, I got a call back from the number the clinical director gave me. We discussed transportation options for dad. It looks positive. I feel some relief. We just have to get our dad to agree to go on a transportation van. We'll drive him to the van pickup before his IOP and then pick him up in the afternoon at that same pickup. If Dad agrees. He'd damn well better agree!

My psychiatrist called me back and gave me an appointment for tomorrow morning as a substitute for the one I had to cancel. Even my therapist emailed me back with encouraging words. I had to cancel my appointment with her both this week and last week because of family crises. I won't see her next week either, because we are away. The vacation to Florida better be good and without struggle! No delays, no plane problems, no bad stuff at all! And it better not rain or be too cold there!

Thanks, everyone, for reading about my stressful saga these past days (or weeks...or months) and expressing support.
