Marathon day

Today was a marathon day.

I'm not complaining.

It's another medical day.

I'm gonna be vague.

On one hand, I don't really want anyone reading this to know exactly what kind of medical issues we have going on...suffice it to say, I do not have a right to complain in light of what my family member is about to endure.

She's been through so much and is about to get pummelled some more.

Of course, whenever we have something early, it's always a late night the previous day.

And sure enough.

A very very late evening allowing for only 2 hours of sleep.

Up early.

Hospital bound.

Delays.

You all know what I am talking about.

Even if you have the first appointment, there are delays and you wind up being at your appointment much later than expected.

Then you get the nurse who is counting the hours until vacation. Will she really be on her 'A' game?

And then they said they were on time, but you wait, and wait and wait......


All signs pointed to disaster...but you have to keep the faith!


It got to the point where we wrapped up almost two hours later than expected, just enough time for me to take my obligatory 5 minute shower and head into work.


Everything turned out fine....for now. This problem may develop time and time again.


You just have to roll with the punches and stay strong.


I just laugh when others complain over the slightest of issues knowing what we go through ever day. I also laugh when anyone says 'I am tired. I only got 6 or 7 hours of sleep.' Just walk in our shoes for a day or two! All you can do is laugh and wink at the good Lord above!!!!


I thank God every day for his guidance, his strength, his support and watching over us.


I also thank God every day for making me low maintenance, efficient, organized, focused, and a terrific multi-tasker.


He would never give us anything we could not handle.


He picked the right person for the job when giving me a major responsibility. I am honored to carry out your mission, Jesus.
