One week and two days...not surprised to hear NOTHING from Dr. Wonderful Dentist.
Okay - it's not really his fault, or so yet I'm not convinced. And to give him some credit, we heard from him the day after our meeting to say he called his specialist friends.
BUT...we are in the same boat.
1) No progress on testing for the enzymes that are possibly making his teeth fall out
2) No appointments for a geneticist or the endocrinologist. We are due for appointments, so now I'm wondering if I should just go ahead and make the appointments.
How am I not crying about this? Seriously...I've already learned that if you want anything done, you have to do it yourself. Teamwork is great, but unless you have a driver, the team is not getting out of the garage.
Being an advocate. I talk about this a lot, and it's hard work to be the advocate. Not hard work from calling, or making appointments, or putting together paperwork. It's the hard work emotionally. It's a bigger job than I've ever had to do before, worse than dealing with any other mean client, tough deadline, or terrible boss.
BUT...I won't let this stop me. I will continue to push forward as we always do. Now...time to pick up the phone and call Dr. Wonderful to remind him we have made no progress. This time, I'll be asking for the names and numbers and test to get ordered myself. Enough is enough.
