Kit - Why don't you call Dr. Carlson's office and see if they will re-schedule you any sooner? My son's first appointment was re-scheduled for an earlier date. So I know that sometimes they can do that. In fact before one of my son's later (non-urgent)appointments, the office called and put his appointment off a few days later because of a "scheduling conflict" which was probably because another patient needed to come sooner. Even if they cannot give you an earlier appointment, they can probably reassure you or maybe prescribe something for the stress. It wouldn't hurt to call and it could make you feel better! Take deep breaths, now and hang in there. Let us know what happens.
