I know how tiring it can be and I wish it would end for me as well...so I KNOW how you feel and some ways! I too was never really a magazine reader; I was a people watcher. When I go into each of my different doctor's offices and see the many people around me, I wonder to myself "I wonder what they are here for" Sometimes, these people are laughing and bright smiles, and I wished (when I was younger and sometimes even now) that I can smile and laugh at a doctor's office. But there are numerous times I have saw scared, frighten people....sometimes people my age. I remember one time when I was about 7 yrs old, I met a girl at my doctor's office who was scared to death about her upcoming surgery. She would cling to her parents and would refuse to play with the toys. I went over to her and invited her to play with my bears I brought with me. We talked and we found out we had the same doctor and a similar physical disorder/deformity. I told her "we can be hospital buddies!" She laughed! I was happy I made someone smile. Even though I wasn't a Christian at 7, I remember praying for this girl every night until her surgery time (we both had surgery the same day!). We ended up being friends for the longest time....it's amazing how God can use people around you as a blessing to your own life!! Even now, I'm a avid people watcher esp in the waiting area.......and I still wonder what their health problem consist of and wonder how they deal with it. I wonder and I pray. And I thank God for the many mercies He's bestowed on me. I love you! Praying for you as you endure treatments! --Becky You know me and my mountain hill of doctor visits myself over the years since I was a child.

I love to watch people, too, to wonder what they're doing. One of my favorite things to do is to drive through a neighborhood in the evening, when it is dark, and look in the windows, to see what the people are doing. Are they eating, talking, watching tv? Are they playing with the kids, are they reading...what are they doing in there, all cozy in their homes. I love the wondering part of it. I hope I don't sound like a wierdo. :) I loved reading about the people. I love to watch people, too, to wonder what they’re doing.

I never thought to bring a journal and write down my thoughts and what I've seen. So much I've forgotten, but I remember seeing an elderly woman from Elkton at RMH, and I'd heard her telling someone in the waiting room she had just had a follow up Mammogram. She was alone, and it wasn't too long before I saw a taxi-cab come and pick her up. I felt sooo sad, that she has no one to take her home. Just a random comment on your post.
