That's a really difficult situation to be in. I'm sorry. I always get very anxious and stressed about medical problems, and having to wait in that state is the worst. Really hope a cancellation opens up soon.

I've been feeling restless and unsettled today. And that morphed into irritation and short-temperedness. Then I had a really unpleasant random interaction with a total stranger and I behaved in a way I regret (I lost my temper). I am disappointed in myself. This person was a jerk but then I responded like a jerk. And in so doing, I prolonged the interaction which served no purpose whatsoever and just made me feel really bad afterwards.

I had a choice and I could have walked away and said nothing. That would definitely have been the better choice. And I know that. But I couldn't help myself and my anger/reactivity got the best of me. I really regret how I handled this and I've been stewing over it all evening. Time to let it go and move on (and really try harder not to react if a similar situation arises again)
