Oh and I also meant to suggest that you call your doc's office and ask if they have a cancellation list and could you get on it. I always do this and it really helps get in fast in some cases. It can't hurt to ask. February seems like a long time away.

If you live close and are flexable, let them know you are only a few minutes away and able to come on short notice. They like to know this and it makes it more likely they will call you if someone flakes out on their appointment last minute.
