The past

It is true that the past indeed catches up with you. Someone with whom I had a falling out years ago is now admitted in my ward. I felt so scared and anxious when I saw her face this morning. "How do I nurse her?" "Has she forgiven me?" "Will she be mad at me and scream that she doesn't want to be in this ward any longer?" 'What do I do? I can't ignore her forever.. She's admitted here for goodness sake!"

These questions ran through my mind. My heart pumped like there was no tomorrow whenever I stepped into the room. At first I pretended that I didn't see her, but I knew that this can't go on forever. My heart tells me to act professional, but I can't. I felt weird. But to see her in her current condition somewhat broke my heart. Yet I was to scared to approach her.

Sigh... I'm so worried, but I know I can't change anything. Unless I open my mouth of course. And yet, the fear of making her even more miserable overwhelms me. I can't really think right now. I'm such an ass. Really I am.

Hey Joycie,

Things happen sometimes to make us more adult...more mature...haha

I had a similar situation where thr's a senior irritating pharmacist who made me cry....

The next time I saw him was 2 years later, I wasn't a bit intimidated by him or anything. I just had to be professional and just do what I'm suppose to. He didn't recognized me of course and was as anal as ever....but I just did my best and everything was okay....
