Our family doctor is a very busy man. He sees close to two hundred patients a week, therefore, so does his staff. He's been our doctor for over 25 years and I give him a lot of credit for taking great care of us.
He's better than just good. No wonder he has such a huge practice. Even at that, we never feel rushed and he never fails to answer all of our questions and ask if we have more before leaving the room. He has one nurse that has been with him as long as we have and one that's been there just a few years. Other than the office staff for the entire practice, and the lab people, those three do it all.
Barb and I had routine visits with him earlier this week. The newer nurse was taking our vitals. She commented that our heart rates were the same. She went on to say that she had only had that happen one other time and guess what, it was us that time too! She said she had told Doc and the other nurse about it and wondered if it was because we are so in love. They both said, of course it is, no one is more in love than those two!
I never really thought about it before, but I guess it shows. I know I have seen couples who were obviously not in love. I know there's different kinds of love and people show it in different ways, but some people are just obviously not happy, sometimes even angry looking and act that way towards their mate. I guess every marriage and every relationship doesn't have to be great. But unless it's at least good, why stay in it? I can tell you from experience, it's not healthy.
I feel lucky to have Barb in my life and to be so in love with her. So, come to think of it, Doc was right, and it's no big surprise~~ our hearts are in sync!!
