The Journey Continues, At Home!, Quick update on Dr. visit

Yesterday's 2:30 pm appointment was another hurry up and get there to wait.  LOL  After about an hour of wondering if they had forgot we had been placed in a room one of the fellows came in.  She asked several questions and then as she was leaving she said well the Dr. will be in after we get your blood work.  We looked at each other then ask her, you mean we still haven't got the blood work back from Monday.  She got a funny look on her face then said you didn't have blood work today.  Richard told her, no they told us at the front desk that blood work wasn't ordered.

The PA came in really quick after that and told us that the blood work from Monday all was very good except for the potassium and that Richard would need to do blood work before we left the building.  If that still is high then he will be started on meds for that.  That would put him up to 11 meds a day most of which he takes twice a day and one he takes three times a day.  We finally left the city close to five after they took eight viles of blood from Richard.

He did talk the PA into filling out his release to go back to work but the Dr. busted that.  I heard her talking loudly in the hall and knew it wasn't going to go through.  The PA came back in with the paper and said Dr. busted you. LOL

Sometimes it is hard to wait.  We want things right now if not sooner.  We want things on our terms but sometimes it is good to be still and wait.  Sometimes it is to allow your body to heal.  Sometimes it is so you don't end up doing something you shouldn't and sometimes it is so you can hear that Still Small Voice speaking to you.  Today might be a good day to wait, be still and listen!


Proverbs 8:34 NIV

Blessed are those who listen to me, watching daily at my doors, waiting at my doorway.
