Appointment Rescue Sheet
For appointments landing in a crash: the reschedule script, what a supporter can say on your behalf, and what to ask for if it truly cannot move. Rescheduling is a legitimate use of a phone call — someone else's, ideally.
What this is for: Handling an appointment during a worsening with the least possible demand on you.
The reschedule message
Written here, ready — you send it, or someone sends it for you.
The opening
The ask
The date (if you have one)
Choose what fits from each group — your message builds itself below. There is no single correct version.
What a supporter can carry for you
If it truly cannot move
What you've put together
Your choices stay on this page — nothing is saved or sent.
The rescue plan: a ready message, the parts a supporter carries, and the survivable version if the appointment stands.
Nothing chosen yet — that's fine. Use only what helps today.
An appointment postponed honestly is not an appointment abandoned — it's carried with less damage. New, severe or significantly different symptoms, though, need medical assessment rather than rescheduling.
A clean, keep-close version — read it here, or screenshot the page to have it on your phone.
