Upon getting in the elevator I was told by someone "did you just hear what happened" I said no what? There responce was something just hit the World Trade Center in NY. I was totally asttonded I felt that someone must be making a practical joke. But as I passed the waiting room TV screens all the stations were focusing on the Towers when the second plane hit the second Tower. I was jolted into the realization that things would never be the same again. As I sat in my office surrounded by the people I work with, all from NY by the way. It was a very emotional day for us. While some of us took it so very hard not knowing if our families were safe I just continued to work with the idea that a least one of us had to maintain calm and some semblance of organization for our patients that were scheduled that day. Now I realize that this was my own way of dealing with the disaster. As time passed I feet calmer and I now know that all my people are safe. With Gods help we will come though this deficult time of uncertainty.
