Today was an interesting day, and although I waited for over three hours at an appt. today, I still shook my doctor's hand with respect and regard to his apologies about being late. He took the time to explain and listen to the concerns that I had about his explanations, and he appeared to be so relaxed and not in a hurry that I began to become more relaxed; although I was in severe pain after sitting for so long.
I began to appreciate this doctor because he did not rush me although he had many patients waiting to be seen, but because I was his first patient, he took the time to show empathy towards me and my concerns. That long ride home on the G bus was worth the trip, and when I rode past my old block (58th & Willows Ave.) and my Elementary School (Longstreth Elementary), it did not appear as dreary and sad as when I rode past them both a few hours before.
In the end, I thanked God for allowing me to endure the discomfort that I felt, and I also thanked him for allowing me to be alright when overcoming my concerns for the day. I appreciate each day as if it is a new day and a new beginning, and even though some days will be difficult, I know that he would not place anything on me that I can not bare; if he brought me to it, he will bring me through it.
Today was a good day, although it appeared to be difficult at first.
