Heart in Throat

I'm about to call the nurse at Giant Fertility Clinic to talk to her about doing dIUIs. Feeling so nervous, I'm about to freak the eff out.

Pray that I don't babble over the phone and sound like a complete idiot. Alternatively (and more realistically), pray that in spite of my babbling and sounding like a complete idiot, my nurse takes pity on me and tells me what we need to do to start treatment.

UPDATE: Called and got voice mail (computer-generated, so I don't really know if it was my nurse's). Left a message, hoping it was my nurse's voice mail, but I still haven't heard from her. It's CD 1 -- let's get the show on the road!
