Sun through the trees

 I'm in the mood for sky photos - as inspired by another blogger, Robin Andrea.

I was in the parking lot of my doctor's office, and rolled down the window (this time! I'm learning) since I wasn't really getting any warmer yet, and thought to myself, "Let's go inside and wait, they are heated already while the car is cold."

I had to wait for a car to pass on US Highway 70, and then it was pretty, with the sun reflecting off the railroad tracks.

When I went inside I waited a while behind a man who had been in the hospital and needed a follow up appointment. Then after I checked in for my appointment, another woman came in, gave her symptoms when she was screened for covid, but was out of breath the whole time. The nurse picked up on that and asked if she was always out of breath, and she said yes this morning. Then she mentioned she had chest pain this morning.

She was called right back to be weighed, blood pressure taken, and given an EKG...the nurse hurried the machine into her exam room, then called the Dr. He conferred a minute and recommended that she go to ER immediately. By then I was also back in the exam room area, waiting to be shown in my room. When I had talked with the Dr. about my condition (hands cramping) he gave me advice, then I came out in the hallway which was blocked by a gurney and the woman was getting on it with EMT's caring for her.

My nurse showed me through the office way around to the front exit, while the EMT's had gone out the backway to the ambulance. I made my next appointment and mentioned that when I'd gone to ER once and said I had chest pains, they also had taken me immediately to get treated. I said I understood completely that care givers worked immediately to treat heart conditions. I hadn't been given that diagnosis for hours, but eventually it resulted in my having a stent put on an artery on my heart.

OK, now you're caught up with everything that happened until I sat down here again with coffee and toasted blueberry pancakes! I hope you have a good day!
