Honeychild, if you are in as much pain as I think, I'd call the doctor ASAP!!! Mine has quite a backlog of patients. I just made an appointment a few days ago for as soon as he could get my hubby and me in for our "re-upping". My appointment is for October 16th! More than a month away! I don't know if it is as bad elsewhere, I live way out in the boonies. I have to travel 75 miles to see him, but he's the "only show in town". So it is possible that this is only in my case, but I'd still go to the NORML site, and pick a doctor and call about an appointment Monday morning! Use Mapquest to figure out which one is closest to where you will be living. Worst case scenario is that you get your rec a few days earlier than you would have if you waited. Best case- you have an appointment for the day after you arrive! (you'll need that day to talk and rest ) - Granny:hippy:
