So, last night while I was finishing editing the emergency room story, I got a call from my older (perfect) sister. She told me that she was telling a friend about my headache and that friend has some connection (that I’m not entirely clear about) at the very neurology office I have my October 1st appointment scheduled. And, most importantly, that said friend thought she might be able to help.

I cautiously optimistically emailed a brief health history to my sister to email to her friend to give to a doctor (or pick out a doctor? Again, the details, they are fuzzy) and this morning got an email from my sister with an attached email, from the doctor, saying that she’ll see me THIS COMING TUESDAY at 3. Yes, I’ll have to miss 20 minutes of class. But dude. 5 days instead of like 29. I get to see a doctor in 5 days. I’m beside myself (almost literally, but that’s neither here nor there).

So while I lie on the couch and will the entire world to stop spinning (dear God the dizziness is out of control tonight), won’t you please tell give my older (perfect) sister some props for making this happen? Because it is because of her that I have a new small ray of hope and I’m going to bask in its glory for five short days.
