Yes, waiting for the appointment was an experience. Maybe like extremely slow labor? Please, help me out here moms who know. But I do know as a dad, the wait from the BFE to I-Day was worse. My son was a wrestler. He received his appointment in late January, the heart of wrestling season. Every tournament we went to there were wrestlers who got injured. My son was injured several times but not severe enough to DQ his medical status. After his last high school match I had a sense of relief I cannot begin to describe. I-Day was relief to me. PPW was pure joy and celebration. Good luck to you and all others. Cheers.
