Finally! We're getting somewhere.

boom

I sent in my evaluation packet a week ago and left a voicemail with Dr. ADHD so we could go about setting up an appointment. She finally emailed me today.



Christine,

I received your envelope and your phone call. The other screening item, which I purchase, was on order and I expected it to arrive a long time ago. A package came on Friday, so I have them now. Depending on when we make an appointment for you, I may ask you to come early that day and fill it out at the office.

On Wednesday I will know how my schedule is shaping up (I have a couple of things scheduled into evaluation times and one of them is likely to be cancelled). I’ll write or call Wednesday PM.

I am looking forward to meeting you and helping you get on with it. It can be so heartening, though time consuming, to get things squared away. (I write as though the diagnosis is made; I am not presuming, so much as speaking from the knowledge that almost all adults self diagnose; and I have never evaluated any adult who was mistaken. We will see, though.)

Soon,

Dr. ADHD



I feel okay. Right at this moment, I feel better than I've felt in a really long time. Regardless of whether I have ADHD or not (although KJ says I do, and that's good enough to convince me -- she has never, ever steered me wrong), at least I'll know. I took action for once and sought out help when I needed it. Hopefully this is the beginning of a brand-new start for me. I'm eager to begin. I'm ready to work.
