@marlina I had a call from my dentist this morning to confirm my dental appointment. My husband had a call from the hospital, his physiotherapist had an accident and will not be around for a couple of months. They are trying to find a good substitute.

i feel fer ya. i've been waitin' fer my insurance agents to get done's they'd promised. 'tis been nearly 2 months 'n such's not been done to my satisfaction. i've given'p callin', sendin' emails. i'll jest be without health insurance. my patience 's run plum out with 'em, healthcare.gov 'n others 'nvolved'n the messy process. they can all jest bite my backside.
i've loads 'f patience with critters, the elderly 'n wee'uns. the rest? nope. used to, not any longer.

@crazyhorseladycx , This is a bad situation. Is there any other way to communicate with them and get this solved?

No, I'm being told to continue to wait five results I've desired for mow than ten years now. I'd builder's didn't have the capacity to wait we wouldn't have so many places to visit in our travels

I too hate waiting. So when I anticipate any waiting time, I go prepared with something to read, phone to mylot or some knitting and crochet.

Waiting does not brother me at all. I have lots of patience.

I think I have learned patience over time. Not always a fun thing to learn, but oh so rewarding when we learn that instant gratification does not really make you happy.

It really depends on the situation, but there are many things for which I have very little patience. In my younger years I did tolerate a little more than I do now.
