Well, I did go back to bed, and am slightly the better for it. But then the phone rang: another doctor, another round of tests.
So why this video? Because I feel like a hippo’s chasing me! After the lion, the hippo is the most dangerous animal in Africa. And they are a lot faster than they look. The guys in this video were lucky they had a car.
(Ah! I added some root beer to my iced tea. That’s better.)
Glad to hear you are feeling better. I lay down for about half an hour, and I feel a bit better too.
I had a close-secondhand opportunity to experience this, assisting and advocating for my father’s surgery earlier this year (and a different, upcoming surgery next week!). The tons of tests preceded the operation were squeezed into a relatively short timeframe. He got frustrated with it all, too, but he remembered (or we reminded him) that he had to go through the mess to get back up and running (metaphorically, but he’s back to being almost as active as before). And it didn’t hurt to laugh at some of the repetitive questions. We got to the point where we just started rattling off the info they needed before they started reading it to us.
I’ve got both of you in my prayers.
Thanks for that. I haven’t yet encountered The Exhaustive Interview. *sigh*
Man, I wouldn’t want to get on the wrong side of a hippo.
Hang in, Lee. Sooner or later, they are bound to run out of tests to perform.
