I Was Going To Be Here Sooner But

Each day I say to myself, I am going to come on here and read your posts and perhaps even write one myself. But then the day ends, and the next one begins. And here we are on a Saturday evening, and I am finally here. Though I may not get here every day I do think of you and say a prayer that your day is good. Yesterday I took my friend to her eye doctor appointment. She has had shots in them due to macular degeneration. She had several tests done and the doctor was so impressed with her improvement that he scheduled her next appointment for 6 months. That is the longest time in between her appointments since this began 4 years ago. I didn't mind going with her yesterday, or any of the other times, but we were both pretty upset at yesterday's appointment. It was at 10:30AM. As I said she had 3 tests done which took all of about 5 minutes. We didn't see the doctor until 1230 and then he was in the room for all of 2 minutes. I get that the waiting room was full the entire time we were there. I get that she had 2 different types of pictures of her eyes taking, took maybe 5 minutes for both, and then the nurse looked into her eyes, perhaps a minute or two. He said they overbooked the day. I think he needs to set limits to how many patients he will see in a day. And the place needs to hire more doctors. It is the size of the hospital that closed in our county. No one should have to wait to see the doctor 2 hours after going through less than 10 minutes of procedures. Maybe the waiting was a test for me to learn to be more patient. I understand that when it comes to doctor appointments, waiting is the biggest majority of the visit, but it should not be a 2 hour wait for less than 10 minutes of actual tests/seeing the doctor. Just my humble opinion. Have you had a long waiting period for something that took only a few moments of actually doing whatever you were waiting for? picture from google. Peaceful scene. I need to think of peaceful places when waiting.
