I got a call yesterday from Madison.  My evaluation appointment is March 21, 4 weeks from today.  I'm excited because I thought I would have to wait a couple of months for an appointment to become available, and I did not expect to hear from them until next week.  My flight is already booked and I will be able to visit my sister for a couple of days (and spend my birthday with her the day after the appointment).

So far I just need some dental work that is scheduled for March 6.  They may want some more tests after the evaluation, but right now all I need is the dental clearance.

Because the wait times are so much shorter at Madison than at U. of MI, this feels a lot more real than my appointment with MI in November.  Wow!!  It is a lot to absorb.

I especially want to thank MooseMom and cattlekid for their positive feedback and information about Madison.  It helped a lot and got me moving on getting in contact with Madison.

Be sure to tell us all about your appointment once you return from Madison!  Can't wait to hear all the details!
