Most of my adult life, I have struggled to maintain as much control over the contours of my life as possible. I've done as much of the driving, paid as many of the bills, and generally controlled my calendar as has been feasible.
Now I'm much more reliant on others. It makes me feel guilty. Everyone has their own stuff to deal with, let alone mine.
Today was a lesson learned. My memory was I have an appointment with my PCP at 12:15 but I had no confirmation. Then the head nurse came in and said my appointment was at 11.
This panicked me.
After an exchange of calls we confirmed my memory is correct. Whew!
I'm not as much in control as before and I am slowly learning, I hope, how to cope with that.
