More than that, I was so moved by your story. Your own anxiety mixed with your observations of the suffering of others. Very touching. And so well written.

I am sitting there in the waiting room right beside you throughout your whole ordeal. Sorry you will need knee surgery, but perhaps that will be one of the things you can check off your list of painful living afterwards. I was in an emergency room once when I sliced my hand open and had a headache at the same time. I had to wait on the table for over an hour before the doctor came, and had to listen to the women next to me crying, moaning and groaning the entire time. Had a triple headache by the time the doctor came. So much misery and heartache there. You know you make a difference in my life, and that's no little thing to me. Love you much.Yvonnehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11506141901518297798noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-301861562195630494.post-55054447603394517652011-07-18T17:27:54.083-07:002011-07-18T17:27:54.083-07:00I'm so glad to hear it wasn't a blood clot...I'm so glad to hear it wasn't a blood clot!

From every picture I have seen and every movie I have seen it in, it has been nothing short of breathtaking and I have wanted to go there since I was 18, next year is our year to go and I cannot wait to attach my camera to my face and take pictures, and then close my eyes to feel the breeze and smell the ocean (which is ironic since I live on the ocean) and then open my eyes wide open and just stare into its vastness!Average Girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05171277050030497007noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-301861562195630494.post-89616239714797043842011-07-18T15:28:41.217-07:002011-07-18T15:28:41.217-07:00Man, I hate to be late on the "I was worried&...Man, I hate to be late on the "I was worried" train, but time and tides etc. Glad it wasn't a clot.

It was a bit frightening. <br /><br />Glad you are ok. Isn't it bizarre that a knee surgery is the more preferable evil in a health scare? Take care of yourself!

Take care of the knee. I have spent so many endless hours in the Emergency Room with my late husband I couldn't even count how many. I know exactly what you were feeling as I read it.
