Ditto what SR said! It's excellent that you made the call. I also want to compliment you on going to see the L today. As a chronic procrastinator myself, I know that it would have been easy to cancel/reschedule this appointment. I'm glad that you went.
From the way you described it, it sounds like the meeting with the L went well (as well as it could under the circumstances). It's such a wonderful feeling when you know you have someone on your side rooting for you. [Of course, some of that support comes with a price tag, but it will be well worth it to get the results you want or can at least live with.]
