Today I had a 1 p.m. appointment for a radiologist to inject several pointy items into my right hip. I sat in the waiting room from 12:45 until 2. The procedure lasted fifteen minutes. But it was all worth it.
The nurse was pleasant and explained things as we went along. The "tech" was a young man who had hated English in high school but who asked interesting questions about my experiences in the classroom. When the doctor came in, he was deft and efficient. He told me he had done the same procedure on his wife not too long ago and how very helpful it been for her. He made me feel cheerful and hopeful.
And tonight my hip does not hurt. My thanks to all the folks at Mercy...
