12/10/18 - This morning I started to call at 9:00 am which is 7:00 am in Phoenix for a new appointment because I had checked and the recording stated the phone service starts then.  Well, that is not true but I got so frustrated with the strange recording that I was able to type in Dr. Harrison's name and I got his personal line and I did not tell who I was but I needed to make an appointment and not sure what was wrong with the phones.  I heard him tell his assistant "how did this patient get my number" and will you please help her!!  I was then told that they won't open the phone lines until 7:30 and I should try back.  I finally got them at 7:50 am and of course the receptionist was not helpful at all and stated his next appointment was not until 1/14/19.  Of course, I tried and tried to explain that was impossible but she would not even try.  I then told her to leave a message for Kathy (Dr. Harrison's assistant) to call me and to make the message "urgent".  Now whether that happened or not, I don't know but within the hour Kathy called and was very, very helpful and understood the situation.  I got an appointment for Friday at 10:00 am!!  I also called and have an appointment on Monday 12/17 to get the RV repaired.  Keep your fingers crossed that it won't cost an arm and leg!

I also learned this morning that there were two tornadoes that touched down about an hour north of me.  Thank God, Bradenton was spared.  We are two days of cold weather and then I fly to Phoenix and they are also cold!!
