Well the Monday prior to the Tonsillectomy, I had a Pre-Op appointment with my specialist. After discussing the concerns with surgery and convincing the doctor that I really do want the surgery and didn't want him talking me out of it (since I cancelled surgery 6 months prior and I have finally prepared mentally and physically). I leave the office to pick up my car in the parking garage from "Complimentary Valet" only to be handed a police report from an apathetic parking attendant and my car smashed along the driver's side from front wheel through driver's side door. Oh, and a vague, bland apology with little explanation to how this might have happened.
So what happened? Still don't know. Did I have time for this, literally, have time for this prior to surgery that would put me in recovery for two weeks? No, I had no physical, mental, or emotional time available to provide for this extremely unfair, unnecessary and utterly ridiculous situation. Is life randomly unfair at times, yes. Yes, life can be unfair.
Did I mention the valet company's name? CAH Valet service business address is still unknown to me but they are in Broward County somewhere. CAH Valet service provides medical parking service for Good Samaritan Hospital, the Victor Farris Cancer Center and the medical building I was in at 1515 Flagler Boulevard.
What have I learned from this? Well, I recommend that if you have a "gut" feeling to NOT Valet, to embarrass yourself by asking for your car keys back before they drive away your vehicle, feel you should drive two blocks away to available parking regarding of the rain or being late for an appointment... IF your "gut" is telling you something, just give in and do it. Don't ignore it.
So was it my intuition or could it have been the Holy Spirit in which God speaks to us? Either way, I didn't listen and walked away. Because, after all, this was a prominent medical building with hundreds of customers/ patients using this CAH Valet service daily.
So Valet, no thanks. I will be passing on any Valet services from this point on. My Gut or intuition or God whisper in my ear, I hope to be obedient and more in tune with His voice. After all, God is always looking out for my best interest and ways to bless me - which is THE OPPOSITE of the intentions of CAH Valet Service, who does not have the decency to return my insurance company's phone calls and is perfectly willing to allow me to pay my own insurance deductible directly from my savings account - after all that's just why we have emergency funds, right?
My Tonsillectomy Recovery blog will have to wait for another day...
