Prayer Request

As I’ve said many times before, writing in general is very therapeutic for me. It gives me a sort of release for the built up emotions and thoughts inside of me. And blogging about it give other people in my life the ability to know what it going on in my life. That being said, I needed to blog about something that was stressing me today. Maybe stressing isn’t exactly the correct word. I don’t know what is though. I’m simply concerned about something. And I wanted to put it out there so that my readers could be in prayer over the situation.
I’ve mentioned my friend Michelle on here several times. She’s become an absolutely instrumental part of my life here in FL. She’s extremely special to me. However, Michelle has something known as chronic vertigo. I don’t really know how to explain it other than to say that she gets dizzy a lot. It might not sound like anything serious, but it is. It affects her work and her daily life. Just in the short amount of time that I’ve known her, it’s gotten progressively worse. To the point that she could be sick for days on end. It breaks my heart.
Anyway, today she had a dr. appointment with a neurologist here in town. Her appointment was supposed to be at 2:30 and she was going to call me when she got out. Well she texted me at almost 4 o’clock and said she was still waiting to even see the dr. I got really frustrated at that. I know that it can sometimes take awhile to see a Dr….but almost two hours (cause they got there early)? I suppose it’s just me being protective of my friend, but I still think that’s ridiculous. Plus, the fact that she texted me instead of calling me concerns me. Michelle doesn’t text. And she didn’t answer her phone when I tried to call her back. I think it’ll all just a combination of things, of seeing her getting worse and not being able to help, of having to wait for weeks and months to get into Dr, to then have the Drs simply refer her to other Drs, and then her having to wait forever just to get in. My heart just hurts for her. And on top of all that, Rodney’s out of town for the night (and possibly tomorrow night as well) on a job. I’m so frustrated at the whole situation. And I’m not even the one in it. Isn’t it funny how we can let ourselves get so wrapped up in the lives of the people we care about?
I just wanted to vent my frustrations a little bit. Thanks for putting up with my ramblings. I know that the people that do still read this blog will devotedly lift Michelle up in prayer as soon as they’ve read this. And for that, I can’t thank you enough. I made her promise to call me as soon as she got out of the Dr, so I’ll try to remember to post an update. Love to you all!
