Waiting

I do believe that waiting for a phone call is one of the biggest causes of anxiety that there can be.  I never complain about late calls, especially from busy people.  It simply means that the people ahead of me in the queue may have needed the extra time.  And on occasions that person is me taking longer than my allotted time.

Despite my denials of anxiety now though, I admit that waiting for calls from doctors is tough.  Today is my 6 monthly telephone check with my the Specialist Centre.  I have a list of questions, written out on paper because I easily forget what I want to ask.  I’m not expecting tough news, I know my Adamts13 level is high.  I had my blood tested just a few weeks ago, it is sent to the Specialist Centre from a more local hospital.

To keep myself busy I’m defrosting the freezer, just a small one, not a massive job.  I’m wearing my new dungarees and my best undies 😅!   It’s important to feel comfy but good about yourself too!   I know I’ll jump when the phone rings even though I’m expecting the routine call.   Good luck to anyone waiting today, I know I won’t be alone.

So my mindfulness photo today is Sunflowers, bought for me by the family branch that stayed last week.

 

Phone call received 🌻.   Specialist Centre are happy and so am I!   Off for a walk now and maybe an ice cream with a chocolate flake to celebrate 😀.   The sun is shining 😃
