After waiting months for the rheumatology appointment today, and spending one of those months trying and failing to get the test that LifeLabs failed to run done, there was no appointment this morning. The doctor's assistant called and said the doctor tried calling Miriam but she never answered. Miriam and I were both sitting on the couch, waiting for this call. We gave the assistant my cell phone, but apparently that didn't work either. The doctor is going to try to talk to Miriam again at 4:30 via Zoom. We think: we never actually talked to her and the assistant isn't great at communication.
Miriam is probably handling this better than I am. I'm trying to work on helping with her slides for lecture today and trying to write a cover letter for a job application, but I just want to lie down and cry. I would drive to Saskatoon (where the office is) *right now* if we could just get answers. I'd drive *anywhere,* *right now*, to get answers.
ETA: Update on the doctor: she was unable to contact a number of people by phone today, possibly due to some kind of infrastructure problem and/or heavy snowfall in the Saskatoon area. She's rescheduled for tomorrow.
The relief I feel about this is enormous.
