Oh, yes, that sounds very frustrating! Especially the part about her not calling back until Thursday! That's terrible.
I liked what annierose suggested. Maybe you can just call and leave all of the days and times that you are available? It might at least streamline the process. But it sounds like that might sound something like:
"I really need to book an appointment the second week in October, although I know he's busy. I'm available MWF from 8 to noon and after 4:00 on T and Th that week. Please see if he can squeeze me in sometime in that window, and let me know as soon as possible. That one is really very important. And then I'd like to schedule two appointments per month in Nov, Dec, and Jan. I'm available on Tuesdays and Thursdays after 3:00, and Mondays before noon, except on November 15 I'm not available at all, and on December 17 I am also available in the morning. Please go ahead and schedule one of those times in each month."
Or whatever your times are. It sounds kind of ridiculous. But what other choice have they left you? Basically, a lot of uncertainty. This sounds like something to discuss with your T.
