I’ve just had a visit from a volunteer, to see if I would like to book a meeting with the Chaplain??!!
“Why?” I asked, “is there something you know that I don’t?”
“No”, she said “it’s just if you wanted someone to talk to about your condition.”
Very politely I replied, “I have a team of consultants, doctors and nurses at a press of a button, 3,900 hits on my website, 70 timeline messages, 20 voice mail messages, 35 private Facebook messages, and my sister is on her way!”
“Oh, you seem fairly busy”, she said, ” I won’t book you in.” And then she proceeded to tell me her problems!
Perhaps that’s part of the therapy to make me feel better 😉
