And We Wait!
By coolgranny in The Paradox of Long Lives
July 23, 2009

Hub is much better at handling waiting than I am. I think his job predisposes him to this ability. He is involved in FERC and Ethics, so most of his cases take a year or more to finally become resolved. He is the go to guy for the rules and regulations involving the natural gas business. I, on the other hand, am the impatient type. My fuse is short, and I find myself constantly praying for patience, right now.

We are on standby for my daughter-in-law and son. I think I would be totally zoned out if I was the one with cancer. Not knowing the procedures to be taken, the options, the when, the where, the follow-up, etc. would drive me to distraction. I would have had forty or more questions for each step of the process. Son and DIL seem to be taking it all in stride. Young love just seems to overshadow any possible hurts, and that is a good thing. It sure makes it hard for me. Hub keeps telling me not to speculate the future, and I am trying, but there must be a full on my patience tank. I am just about dysfunctional as I take each day and wait. Hub is keeping me busy with short trips here and there, but even that is getting on my nerves. He means well, but what I really want to do is just scream at the powers that be. Get this show started, get my daughter-in-law treated, and do it now. instead, I will just cry to the Lord. He can take it.
