Jul. 12th, 2023 09:19 amI finally heard back from the dentist (after emailing them again) and now I am experiencing some whiplash:
Me: Hello, I would still like a dental appointment.
Them: Oh, sorry! We lost your email - thanks for following up. We can make you an appointment for September 27th.
Me: Okay, cool, I'll put that on my calendar. (Internally: that's...longer than I wanted to wait, but at least it's something and I'll have months to get over my anxiety about this appointment. Or at least put if off till then.)
Them: Actually, do you want to come in next week? We have an opening for next week, suddenly.
Me: Great! (Internally: AAAAAH! All of the anxiety right now I guess!)
Them: And also we need your phone number.
Fortunately, they only needed my phone number to text me a link to the patient portal. I don't understand why that couldn't be an email, but at least they didn't actually call me.
I am on vacation next week, so at least I don't have to arrange time off from work and getting it over with really is the best thing. It's just now I'm going to be a little off for a few hours.
