"...And they admitted that they were aliens and strangers on earth. People who say such things show that they are looking for a country of their own. If they had been thinking of the country they had left, they would have had opportunity to return. Instead, they were longing for a better country—a heavenly one. Therefore God is not ashamed to be called their God, for he has prepared a city for them." Hebrews 11:13-16

Diagnosis

Well it's official. I have a sinus infection. It's sucking the life out of me but at least I know what it is. I am on antibiotics and my doctor said that if it isn't cleared up after this round or if it comes back again right away then we will do something more about it. It's nice to know that she won't just prescribe the same thing again.

So I brought her a bunch of tulips. I apologized for being a crappy patient, never listening, never coming to see her until I was almost dead. She was surprised to say the least. Apparently hardly anyone listens to what their doctor tells them, or at least in her experience. I promised her that I would do as she told me. I don't think she really knew what to say other than she really appreciated that.

It made me feel good too. Not because I made her day a little brighter with flowers but because I did the right thing. It would be easier just to acknowledge to myself that I was going to do what she said instead of taking the time to apologize to her and to tell her that I trust and appreciate her.

Now tell me, who in life doesn't want to be appreciated?

I think things like that can really change a persons life, who knows she could have been feeling really down about beign a doctor and you may have just changed her whole perspective. I think that was super awesome of you. God Bless you you beatuiful pez collecting hottie!
