How do you feel? - j
Why get upset over something you can't change? Being upset makes PN pain worse.

I appreciate the reminders. My brain is a bit like Swiss cheese, full of holes that allow memories to dribble out behind me as I walk, talk, or sit. I even forgot an appointment within the past month that the clinic reminded me about two days prior. I'm probably not the only dodo out there, and that's why the offices make these courtesy calls.

Daneilla makes an important point, especially in an office setting. That's why I always give my cell number to contact me. All messages on a cell phone are confidential.

Dahlek, would you prefer no reminder calls, but full billing for missed appointments?
