Hello,
This morning I thought of some
brilliant statement and an idea for writing to you. But I did not make a note about
it. Consequently when I sat down to write this afternoon my brain seemed to be not
only not brilliant, but a tad dull. After stewing around for some time, walking
from room to room looking for that thought, I realized that it was not coming
back.
So I made some phone calls that I have
been putting off. I needed to check with our insurance supplement to learn just
what is covered in the wellness exam. I had called to make an appointment last
week for just such an excursion, but the Doctor’s office would not book the exam
until they knew what it covered. For some reason that day I was unable to reach
the insurance company.
It takes quite a lot of courage for me
to make these calls so I put them off as much as I can. When the letter writing
did not happen it seemed there were no further excuses. The call went through
right away and it was really painless, but I was sweating quite a bit by the
time it was over. I am not sure that I can explain such, but I do not really
like to use the phone. I next called the office and made that appointment. While
I had my courage up and running through me, I called the eye doctor. Just as we
were talking about when I might come in, I realized that Leroy needed to be my
driver because they wanted to dilate my eyes. I had no idea when Leroy would be
able to do this so I had to get out of that conversation. Now courage is needed
another day.
A compliment for Leroy, when I talked
to him about my angst about making the calls he listened with a note of
understanding rather than giving advice or saying it would be alright and what
is so hard about that. He is learning something the older he gets.
