In the midst of all the world’s
chaos and negativity, there’s a little good news.
All week, I have been
having horrible nightmares about today’s doctor visit. You know the thinking…my blood sugar would
still be high, I’d have to go on insulin, and I would have progressed to being
a diabetic. More of, no matter what I
did I would still be pre-diabetic. Last
night’s dreams were particularly bad ones.
This morning, I had to
meditate a bit in the office to get my blood pressure down. “Your blood pressure is really good,” she
told me.
Unfortunately, I missed
the bit about going in three days early for all my lab work. With the great weight loss I’ve had, my blood
sugar should be good too, she said. Results
will be here in three days. Keep going
as you are. Then she jabbed me with a pneumonia
booster and told me to come back in six months.
Perhaps my thinking has
been liberated too.
Well, that's good news for you. It's hard not to worry although sometimes worry is an alert.
