Check-ups.

Tomorrow morning Kelly and I head to Dr Y's office for a check-up.
As I think about the things I want to ask him (what's the deal with my weight?, how come I can't really rely my "innards" yet?, when will I know "normal" has arrived?)
I'm curious as to what he's looking for?
I mean at this point, there's nothing really visually different than when we first met (other than the lack of a tumor and that big scar!!).  What questions will he ask that will let him know I'm exactly where I'm supposed to be at this point in my recovery OR something is seriously "off"?
I guess it makes sense that I can't figure out what he will ask me -- that's what makes him the specialist and me...
                                                    well, just the patient.
He's done this a few times, he knows what he's doing -- that's why I trusted him from the very first moment I met him and for all those hours he would spend working inside my body - literally!
When you think about it -- it's an odd relationship really. 
This Doctor/Patient thing. 
In kind of a goofy way -- it's almost like loving someone else.
When we decide we're going to love another -- we have to decide we're going to give it all away.
All of it -- expectations, power, control, and ultimately...
                                                                                               having to have our own way.
And at the very same time we're handing over these treasures, we're deciding that what we do bring to the relationship is belief and trust. 
I believe you have my best in mind.
I trust you to take all that I just handed you and honor me with it.
That is LOVE.
No matter what the relationship is - husband, wife, friend, parent, child, teacher, student, boss, employee, and yep, even doctor or patient -- without LOVE it's just not going to work.

Wherever you are on the faith thing -- without LOVE, you're not going to get far.
For me, the thing that often gets in the way between me and God is that I'm not willing to hand him all the things I have to let go of to really fall in LOVE.
Uugh.  Sometimes that really bugs me about me.
But, physical check-ups aren't the only ones that are good for us!
Being reminded that there is a LOVE that is perfect (not mine for sure) and it has been offered to me -- over and over and over again -- is helpful and makes me glad that I'm not done with this living thing!

And so, tomorrow is more than just a check-up, it becomes another chance to practice LOVE.

Hope you get a chance to practice too!!
Loved,
Suze

  1. WHAT A GREAT MIRACLE THAT I HAVE EVER SEE IN MY LIFE. My names are Clara David I’m a citizen of USA, My younger sister was sicking of breast cancer and her name is Sandra David I and my family have taking her to all kind of hospital in USA still yet no good result. I decided to search for cancer cure so that was how I found a lady called Peter Lizzy. She was testifying  to the world about the goodness of a herbal man who has the roots and herbs to cure all kinds of disease and the herbal man's email was there. So I decided to contact the herbal man @herbalist_sakura for my younger sister's help to cure her breast cancer. I contacted him and told him my problem he told me that I should not worry that my sister cancer will be cure, he told me that there is a medicine that he is going to give me that I will cook it and give it to my sister to drink for one week, so I ask how can I receive the cure that I am in USA, he told me That I will pay for the delivery service. The courier service can transport it to me so he told me the amount I will pay, so my dad paid for the delivery fee. two days later I receive the cure from the courier service so I used it as the herbal man instructed me to, before the week complete my sister cancer was healed and it was like a dream to me not knowing that it was physical I and my family were very happy about the miracle of Doctor so my dad wanted to pay him 5 million us dollars the herbal man did not accept the offer from my dad, but I don't know why he didn't accept the offer, he only say that I should tell the world about him and his miracle he perform so am now here to tell the world about him if you or your relative is having any kind of disease that you can't get from the hospital please contact dr.sakuraspellalter@gmail.com or whats app him +2348110114739  you can follow him up on Instagram @herbalist_sakura for the cure, he will help you out with the problem.
