Heart Dr Checks In

 WHAT A DAY!  I felt confident that we would have a great cardiology appt for Lillian and I was right.  Her heart looks great and he doesn't foresee her ever needing heart repair to her original repair.  Since she doesn't grow in super huge leaps, it's actually been a good thing in regards to her heart defect.  Now, I move on to story time....I left town about half an hour earlier than needed and had been on 65 for about 25 minutes when we came to a dead stop.  There was a crash ahead and there was no telling how long we'd be sitting.  After 25-30 cars ahead and behind me made illegal uturns, I called the dr to tell them what was going on.They stated I could be 15 minutes late with no problem. I, then, tried to make an illegal uturn myself, only to be caught by a state policeman.  Now, mind you, I thought, these other people were not making the best decision, but I was also starting to feel desperate.  So, I turned myself around and was just settling in for the wait when the police officer, who was young enough to be my son, tapped on my window. He proceeded to chew me out, very kindly, about my "almost fatal" decision to make a uturn.  I told him I agreed completely and then he continued to lecture me about almost killing ourselves.  He said he wasn't going to give me a ticket and I told him I he should because I deserved it.  He finally proceeded on his way and I felt like a total idiot.  We arrive at the dr office and I am busting tale to get in there, my time read exactly 15 minutes over our appointment time.  We walk into the office and the front desk/medical assistant was ruder to me than I've ever encountered in my life.  I was biting back the tears.  She continued to talk to me very rudely to the point, where my old fleshy side nearly chucked that clipboard right back at her.  I told her I called and she was so so rude...I sat there on the seat thinking be kind to your enemy, don't return evil for evil.  She took Lillian back and was a different person toward her and I finally made it to the bathroom and cried.   

The doctor did say he was sorry for my trip issues and I said, well I got chewed out by a cop and your receptionist was not kind to me at all.  He said he was sorry for that too.  It was a rough day for me, stressful, I should say.  I just hope there was no injury to the people involved in the wreck.   

Also, we had a good report with her pulmonologist in December.

Never a dull moment.
