Today my respiratory therapist was supposed to visit me. She said she would be here around 2 p.m. I set everything up to have the home visit in the living room. She needs to pick up some equipment and get readings off my two ventilators. I patiently waited for her.
After waiting until almost 4 p.m., I decided to call her. If she is late, she usually emails me. Despite checking and rechecking my emails, I did not see any correspondence from her. When I rang her phone, it went straight to voicemail. I asked her to call me and let me know if she is coming.
Well, here I am. I continue to wait. She has not called back.
I do not know if I should be upset I spent all afternoon waiting for her or if I should be concerned. She usually is very good about letting me know if she is running late. Since she did not answer her phone, I wonder if something happened. Perhaps she is sick, a family member is sick, or some other ill fate may have sprung upon her.
I was happy this week, an event I usually attend on Mondays was cancelled. I was happy because that meant I actually had energy today. Since I have Bible Study on Tuesdays, I am usually dragging on Tuesday evening due to having a long day on Mondays, but today, I was going to have energy. However, after waiting in the living room, sitting in the upright caused blood to pool in my legs for several hours.
Now, my energy is spent. What a bummer. I thought for once, I might actually have energy for Bible Study, but I guess not this week. I will once again hobble through the session, hoping my fatigued mind and body can make it through the night.
I am praying mt respiratory therapist is ok. I am praying she just forgot to visit me today.
