What Pain Can Do To You
I’ve talked about this quite a bit lately but the pain that one is in can determine their over-all outlook. For me, the chronic pain in my back is enough to cause me to have a bad disposition every now and again. But, sitting in the neurologists office for 5.5 hours yesterday reminds me that maybe it doesn’t hurt near as bad as I think it does.
I mean, right now I have a broken foot. I needed to be somewhere with my foot elevated, not sitting in a doggone waiting room for hours on end. I didn’t carry my laptop because they don’t have open wireless but I did carry a couple of books. And, I read one of the books almost completely. I looked at a few magazines and I chatted with a few people to waste part of the day.
Finally, in a room and more waiting begins. The nurse asks me a jillion and one questions and then leaves. She returns to ask me a couple billion more and then the doctor comes in. He spends about 6 minutes max with me and he is gone.
I’m going to assume you all have already figured out that I will not be going back to see this doctor. That’s 2 visits with him and an average of 5 hours each visit…nope, not happening…talk about needing some emotional stability at the doctors office, how about needing some after you leave?
