I don't blame you for being frustrated/upset/****** off because your pdoc was insinuating that you're not trying hard enough. That and the stupid advice must have been hard to ignore. I give you a lot of credit for that.

3 hours is a long time for an appointment. I hope that you're able to getting the information you need early Monday so you don't have to worry about it all day, getting there isn't a bigger ordeal than it needs to be, and so that it makes the appointment itself easier
