Life certainly has its moments, doesn't it? Sometimes I feel like I'm riding the highest wave and other times being pounded by it. Today was no exception. My oncologist's medical group merged w/another company. My insurance didn't cover it and became worthless. So I didn't get to see my cancer doc..not a good thing. And now I have to find a new oncologist.
When you have cancer, finding a new oncologist is like finding a new spouse. Those I would have chosen have their dance cards full already. And for the ones that are left, they're usually not real attractive or just not what I had in mind.
But hey, what a great problem to have! It's great to have to traverse through our healthcare system to find another doc from the most talented pool of health care professionals in the world. It's great to have an insurance company to fight with. It's great to have a cancer that can still be managed. And it's great to be sitting and blogging from my home instead of a hospital bed...or not at all.
It's hard to feel like I'm being picked on when I focus on how much grace I get. There's always more than one perspective...it's my job to look for it and seize it when it comes.
And when I open my eyes and see how good I really have it, I can't help but feel like the luckiest guy in the world.
Have Two Great Days!
