I can honestly tell you I was not feeling one bit thankful when I walked into the pool yesterday and saw that I would have to share the lap lane with Carla, who truly is the best!; "The Tank", who has that build, moves slow like one, and will let no one pass her; and "Slappy" - oh, how we all would like to correct her stroke! Stop hitting the water!!!
I can't say I was extremely thankful when I got done swimming and noticed that my knee was twice the size it should be. Nor was I happy that two lifeguards, the water ex instructor and the boss all noticed it, too.
But what I am thankful for was that when I stopped by Twin Cities Ortho to get some new modeling clay for my hand exercises (even though they gave me the wrong clay!), I was able to get in to see a knee doctor Monday morning. When I hear stories of our dear patients aboard the good ship Mercy who wait years upon agonizing years to see a doctor, I am thankful that I only have to wait four days. And that I have health insurance so that I can afford it.
"Give thanks with a grateful heart . . . "
