I know from reading many posts on here that a lot of people have done this before, come through it, are doing great. I need to remind myself of that - constantly.
It's the absolute powerlessness right now for me to have any impact on the outcome that i'm struggling with, that loss of control.
Harumph.
I'll update my thread after the appointment today.
