If someone is doing you a favor, make sure they are not waiting for you.
Wise words from my father, and I am sure to hear them in my head whenever I have the opportunity to meet someone, and especially if I have to wait. I will say that my experiences through this cancer journey has been a test of patience, an exercise of getting things accomplished while I wait, and a remarkable attestation that there are a Lot of very caring and considerate people in the health care community. Well worth waiting for, I have to say.
Often times I am updated on how much longer I may be expected to wait, and have been fortunate to have warm greetings and kind words upon my arrival to the Many appointments.
I am thankful that I have had my many questions answered in detail, and any additional thoughts for my personal situation considered in my care. Who would have guessed that such an unpleasant turn of events could actually make me thankful? I feel lucky to have met the fun and generous groups of nurses who help to make each person feel special, and continue to care for people who are in need of not only the medicine, but the extra dose of compassion to see them through.
So as I wait today, I feel lucky to have a chance to share what may be a different perspective, with all of you, too! I'm glad I had the chance to wait for that!
Happy thoughts!
