So I'm still here...waiting til Friday for my lining check. I have been going back and forth between being ok, being positive (hey, the lining's had to grow .5 in a week, right? it will stay beautifully striped and be thick, no biggie) to the exact opposite of that.
In my darker moments, I'm fearing a lining that is too thick (they let me go too long!!) or a lining that is already compacting and lost its pretty stripe (too long again!!). I don't think it hasn't increased at all, but now that I write that out, I will add it to my list of worries. I won't let myself even think the c-word (ack! not cancelled!) at this point.
We ended up cancelling our plane tickets outright, and just waiting til Friday before we rebook. Which, if we get to rebook (please please let it happen), will cost an arm and a leg, but so be it. Hell, what's a ton more money at this point, right? And of course the hotels seem all booked, or close to it for that week - is something going on in the city of the far away clinic that week? Some big conference or something? Who knows, but it will be more expensive and we might not get to stay where I want to. Sigh, just another annoyance from this delay.
For all you far away clinic gals out there - where did you stay? I'm looking into other hotels, preferably with some sort of kitchen, ideally a 2 bed suite. Let me know where you stayed, and if it had any of that.
Otherwise, just waiting. Trying not to freak out...and waiting some more.

Oh this is just maddening. Seriously I hope only the best news for you later this week. The waiting, the logistics -- gah.
ReplyDeleteHope you get to proceed! I am still following along, BTW--just most of the time on my ipod touch where I can't comment. First time, we stayed at the Residence Inn, which we loved. But I can't remember if they had a kitchenette. Second time, Staybridge Suites. Third time, Homewood. All were fine.
ReplyDeleteThe waiting is the worst.
ReplyDeleteAnd while being canceled would royally SUCK one of the reasons they succeed so often is because they are.so.picky.
We stayed at nearly every hotel in the area--our favorite didn't have a kitchenette. One did--I think it was Staybridge.
Hoping for good news!
