More waiting but not frustrated

We did not hear from anyone at CBCI yesterday. But Doug did get a text from Dr. M - he apologized, saying the day got away from him since he was the inpatient attending physician that day. They rotate that duty. He said we should hear on Monday. We expect that if we get a call, it would happen late in the day.

We still don't know what the decision will be,  but we don't feel frustrated anymore. We know what happened and we understand why. Frustration comes from wondering if anyone got the message; from not knowing why the delay or if anyone is going to answer.

We of course feel we need to change course right away. But we know from past experiences (too much experience!) that if Dr. M feels a situation is urgent, he takes action quickly.

Feelings are real. Feelings are because of our perception of a situation. But feelings are not always reality. Unfortunately we can't often see the big picture; what we see is magnified and close-up and emotional.
So we trust in the experience of our excellent Dr. M. who does care about his patients. And we trust in the Lord, and we wait.

We did get a call from the CBCI scheduler - we have an appointment on September 4 to see Dr. M in Denver. Not his PA or NP, but the 'real' Dr. M. That's a good feeling.

Peace to all.
