What Moved You Emotionally Today?

My gums have been hurting on the side of my jaw where I had the head injury last week. So I went to see the dentist, to see if anything that happened during the fall affected any of my teeth. The technician took exrays and nothing showed up on them to be alarmed about, it all looked fine. So the dentist said I probably just bruised my gums on that side of the jaw during the impact and that it should heal. He did not charge me for the exrays or the exam. I was moved deeply by this. He is so kind to me!

He said I should be allowed to contact the Library's insurance company and that they should pay for the medical on this. I didn't think that I should do that, because it was I who was carrying the books that blocked my vision of the curb I tripped on. He said that they have insurance for just that purpose, in case someone falls on their property and that all businesses are required to carry such insurance. He said it didn't matter whose fault it was, that their insurance would cover it. I don't know what to do now. I felt like it was my fault that I fell, and that I should pay the cost of medical bills. He said no, that their insurance should cover it.

What would you do?
 
Today, I just sat and listened to my husband gripe about his son who is screwing again. I said that I wanted the keys to his car, to move it, however, I never told him I was taking possession of the car because he's gotten a second ticket on it. I did not respond in any way, shape or form or even get emotional (THANK YOU ABILIFY) but told him to deal with his son. My husband said, "Put on your earplugs in the car going down to my MIL's house. He's gonna get it."

*bangs my head*
 
Two more people at work who complimented me on how good my department looks at the moment. One was the deputy manager, who told me she'd heard nothing but good reports, the other was a night colleague who joked he 'no longer had anywhere to hide his sh*t!'
 
I was moved to tears tonight at church during our Maundy Thursday service. It is a communion service and is centered on Jesus' Last Supper with His disciples. We had a visiting pastor and his voice was so deep and he told the story of the last supper and also about a painting in another church of it and that it was backwards and that we all get it backwards, that Jesus asked us to love one another like He loved them and do we? No! There are always differences....
 
@The Albatross So sorry! How awful. You are probably in some kind of state of shock right now. I think that state actually helps. It is like the brain shuts part of itself down, just so you can have some semblance of sanity while dealing with all the services and viewings, etc.

I remember my grandfather telling me not to cry when I was just about to do so at my grandmother's funeral. I could not cry for 2 years after that! Don't let anyone tell you not to cry. You can cry at a funeral or viewing, It is acceptable.
 
What moved me today so far is that I joined a site called patientslikeme and I have been setting up my profile there, etc. Someone wrote me a nice PM there. I was so happy to connect with someone who is in a similar situation to mine. (Back injury). I wrote back. Maybe we will converse each day. I would like that.
