Waiting

I'm finding that I don't like waiting. It is the hardest thing about being a patient. Waiting for appointments is painful and waiting for the test results after the appointments is excruciating. Today I am waiting for my follow-up cardiology appointment. I feel as if time has suddenly slowed to a stand still and I am about to come out of my skin. Another 45 minutes to go before I can leave and I am feeling every second as it passes. I really don't like waiting.
