I am going to Stanford!

Well, I have dates. I am going to be at Stanford November 9th and 10th. I have been pretty nervous, but when Darcy gave me the dates, I found myself relieved. (Yep, that's right, Dr. Dake has more help! She said she was new because they were so busy! No one here would have predicted that, would they?)
I am meeting with an internal medicine doctor on November 4th. This name was given to me by the lady I met walking my dog who's husband is an intervential radiologist. Anyway, they didn't want to see any new patients until December, but I told her he might just find this all pretty interesting and gave her a brief idea. She checked with him and I got an appointment! Yeah!
I also called my neurologist today. I asked his assistant if they had ever heard about this, and the answer was no. I told her I would print some stuff out and bring it in, but she wanted it quicker and asked me to email it. I did and I got a call a couple of hours later from my doctor. I was pretty nervous. I really like this guy, he is so smart and so kind, I really didn't want to lose faith in him. Guess what, he is open to it! I told him I was so pleased and he just told me he is a researcher also and you must have an open mind. He has the nicest way about him and a really charming Italian accent. He was cautious, but so open. I was worried he would say I was crazy, but he said that this (Dr. Dake) is not a crazy man and wouldn't do anything that didn't need doing. Awesome!
I feel like I should celebrate, but I think I will just lay down. MS sucks.
