My mom did data input for the premie unit at Texas Children's....and it seemed to be an emotionally draining job....and she was "just" the data person. On the other hand, I hate the run around....and I especially hate dealing with doctors (and their offices)! (I feel for you; I hope all is well and you are able to keep your time filled w/ good things until you hear from them.)

Thanks for the double-check. That's one of those times when you shouldn't keep writing while answering someone else's question. You ever do that. Someone asks you what you want on your pizza while your typing an email and you end up writing "Yes, I'll meet you at 5:30 at pepperoni and we'll have coffee." Ack, bad proof-reading!

Maybe they're annoyed with you because they think you're someone else?* (*I realize this was a terrible attempt at humor. I hope you recognized it as such and maybe laughed anyway, just for a second, and had an instant of amusement that took your mind off The Wait for the briefest of instants.)
