Patience (ˈpā-shənz) is the state of endurance under difficult circumstances, which can mean persevering in the face of delay or provocation without becoming annoyed or upset; or exhibiting forbearance when under strain, especially when faced with longer-term difficulties. It is also used to refer to the character trait of being steadfast.
Sometimes I wonder if my patience is being tested these days. My husband, bless his heart, I know I test his patience when I'm whining or being cranky. Chris, what a real gentleman, he listens and encourages me to think positive.
If you recall the last entry, I went through quite a challenging visit at the hospital as I didn't have an intervenor to interpret for me. Chris was able to interpret for me in between us using the pen and paper with the on-call emergency neuro-ophthalmologist at the E.R.
Today I got an email from the ophthalmologist's secretary as the ophthalmologist was away on holidays but wanted to know how I was doing and how everything was going. It is nice to know that the doctors do care about how things are progressing.
I do have an appointment to go to London, ON to see another neuro-ophthalmologist as the visual fields test I had was drastically different than the one I had less than a year ago.
This does teach me a lot about patience. Movies with subtitles are much more appreciated than movies with Closed Captioning because subtitles are much more easier to read than Closed Captioning.
I love my quality time with Chris and our furkids. When we all sit and relax, this is when I do really unwind. We have a standard bed and it is really small for all 4 of us. We all want a king sized bed and this would be amazing for all of us. We could live in our bedroom!
