My days are being spent with doctors of all kinds, pharmacies, and testing locations. Now that we have my mother with us we are going to a doctor, drug store or to get a test every day of the week, except Sunday. The good news about all of this visiting of doctors is that I am getting some reading time. I am actually getting to read a book within a couple of days now. I am letting all of this become a lesson that conveys the message that you can always find some good in the bad or annoying situations that you face. I kind of think of it as finding the flower among the weeds. Do you do this? Image from : pixabay.com/en/patient-sick-sick-bed-healthcare-47261/

It can be hard to have to go to doctor's offices so much, but it can be nice when you are able to get some reading done. I used to be able to get a lot of reading done, when I used the bus and metro to go to work.

When I was taking the train into New York I used to get a lot of reading time.

I learned many years ago to take a book because I cannot stand the boredom of waiting, I do the same, reading a novel in a matter of days.

I think the time seems so much longer when you are sitting there being bored.

You are so right and this is what I do when I accompany my husband to see his doctors. I bring a book and I read.

@HazySue I agree, I do not want to touch the magazines that are in the doctors waiting rooms.

I always have a book with me. It makes the waiting seem not quite so long.

@LadyDuck you don't know if someone who is sick has touched the magazines, changes are several sick people have.

Yes, I use that time to my advantage instead of resenting the time waiting.

@HazySue they do that here local all the danged time. sometimes ya wait'n hour 'r longer to be seen. down'n temple, tx 'n e'en my gastro's office'n lubbock there's no waitin'. i can 'nderstand such if'n there'd be'n emergency 'r somethin' which sometimes arises. most oft though, 'tis coz the receptionist tends to book all patients fer a 10 minute visit. ya know, so's they can drive more folks through'n a day 'n rip off not only the patient, but the insurance companies, too? sigh....

They seem to overbook a lot here, at least some of the doctors do. Lucky you, no waiting.

I figured instead of just sitting there I would get in some reading time.
