Welcome to the end-game!
Sep. 21st, 2012 08:06 amOn Tuesday I had a Noon appointment scheduled with a new therapist to see about getting a first letter since Kimball's office had been non-responsive for a month. At 10-11 that morning, I called her office again, reached one of her staff, and learned that my letter was written and about to be faxed to the surgeon's office!
I went to the therapy appointment anyhow, owing to the late lead time for cancelling and that I didn't actually have a copy of that letter yet (I requested that they send me it; they did via e-mail and it arrived as an attachment in a proprietary file format.) I still don't have a serviceable copy of my own, but I do know that the surgeon's office has received it.
This comes four years to the day - and nearly to the hour - after my first session with Kimball.
On Wednesday I received two copies of my second letter, too.
It's over! I've finally won that gatekeeping battle. I have cried so many tears of relief and joy this week that I can't express it. There's nothing left but to wait for mid-May to arrive.
