The appointment with Oto wasn’t until 3pm so we hung out in the room until then. At the appointment we waited 20 minutes to see the doctor for 5 minutes so he could tell Gator “you still don’t have a voice” and then told him he could come in for the temporary procedure the following week. As we were scheduling the appointment for the following Thursday with the receptionist, some lady in a white coat came in from the back room and the receptionist said to her “this is for that same day?” The nurse said “just schedule it!” I had a bad feeling that they were going to reschedule Gator, so I asked the receptionist to please not change Gators appointment. I told her this is really important to us and if you have to bump someone bump someone else! She said I’m not going to change his appointment. I thanked her and we left. The next afternoon we got a phone call postponing the appointment for another week! I started crying on the phone because we were planning on doing the karaoke show at Rounders that weekend and Gator would finally get to do the announcing! He also had 7 old friends from Oregon coming to visit that weekend and he would have had his voice back! I was just so disappointed for him…..I’m sure he was too but he just doesn’t let anyone know. The Lady on the phone said “Are you crying?” “It’s just a minor procedure!” I told her it’s not a minor thing this is major! My husband has been without his voice 4 months now and we have a job to do that weekend. There was no changing her mind so the appointment is set for Thursday Jan. 29^th.
