Grrr. I was scheduled to have a gum graft done 2 weeks ago, but my last procedure hadn't healed as quickly as the oral surgeon had liked, so they had

me schedule an appointment to check on things when I came back from vacation. I asked if I could just make that appointment long enough for the gum graft if things looked ok, or schedule a second appointment later in the week, which could be cancelled if my mouth still didn't look healed. I was told no, it would be no problem getting me in.

I went yesterday. Mouth looks good now and I'm ready for the gum graft. They have no appointments available until after I go back to school first week of August. I WAITED UNTIL SUMMER TO GET THIS DONE SO I WOULDN'T HAVE TO DEAL WITH THE PAIN AT SCHOOL. I was explicit with why I needed the timeline I did and was told it wouldn't be a problem. Surprise surprise, now it is.

Would they call you if there is a cancelation of another patient earlier? -- nm - zeitgeist Jul 21, 10:25

I feel your (scheduling) pain with my 100 day wait to see the damned dermatologist. They were reluctant to even schedule that one since I am still not - Spawn Jul 21, 08:28 3
- 100 days? Holy crap. -- nm - kelly Jul 21, 08:37 2
  - They gave me first available in October. I put it in my calendar and then used one of the countdown widgets so I would remember and sure enough, 100. -- nm - Spawn Jul 21, 08:41 1
    - At least they took it this time. I had called a few weeks in and they refused. I am 80 days into shingles, so if they had given me 100 then, it would - Spawn Jul 21, 08:42
I'm sorry to hear this. Hopefully the procedure will be less painful than it sounds -- nm - crash davis Jul 21, 08:27
