My Christmas Present

I said the other day that what I wanted for Christmas was hope for treatment and a doctor who knows about this dreadful disease, Well, I was driving along in my car a couple of days ago minding my own business when I received a phone call from a University medical center that told me they had received a referral from my primary care physician for me to be seen by a Multi-system Sarcoidosis specialist. I almost dropped the phone. After all I had just been to my primary care doc a few days prior when we had discussed her possibly researching for a specialist but I honestly didn't expect any results this soon. It will be quite a distance for me to go, in another state, but well worth the drive since this specialist deals with every aspect of Sarcoidosis. I have my appointment so this is a nice pleasant Christmas present for me.... a possible hope for the proper treatment ... or at least a step in the right direction.
