No Surprise

I have to tell some truth here and now.  I forgot a very important day and I've been beating myself up about it since I "remembered".  Yesterday, edotlouise had a procedure performed.  We've been knowing about it for a while and if I'm being completely honest it had me pretty freaked out.  She told me on the Beef Day when it was going to be done so I had it in my mind but with midterms and a week off...I became wrapped up in MYSELF.

So today, I called her, like I normally do, right after class, on my way home so we can talk through the lunch hour.  She didn't answer.  I was then mad that I had friends who had to work during the day but I carried on.  Ate some lunch.  Got on facebook.  The usual.  While doing some light stalking, I saw a cute picture that edotlouise had posted of her "cute visitor"(Alliecat/Chucy).  That's when I lost it.  I missed the big day.

I immediately picked up the phone and called Dr. Kurt.  I was frazzled asking about the patient and just so upset that I let it slip my mind.  He assured me that she was FINE and that she was in the shower and would DEFINITELY call me after she got out.

She did call.  She is, in fact, FINE.  It did go GREAT.  I didn't admit any of this on the phone to her.  Partially out of embarrassment, partially out of shame, and partially just because I was so happy to get to talk to her.

In typical edotlouise fashion (this comes as NO SURPRISE) she spent most of the time on the phone wanting to hear about ME and MY problems.  That's just how she is.  Honestly the most selfless person I know. I take great comfort in knowing that she is on my team.  I take great pride in our friendship.
I'm thrilled that things went well.  I hope you rest and take advantage of having a live-in doctor on your hands.

No surprise she taught me again.

Even on a huge day for her she was thinking about everyone else.

Yet another great reminder....

it's not all about me.
