Spring Means Renewal
It’s no secret I’ve had one cataract removed, and the other eye is next week. When I was having the surgeon check the eye this week, he asked me a question. The conversation went something like this.
“Do you have a son?”
“No,” said I.
“I was wondering because there’s this guy on the radio, usually during lunchtime, who I think is a physician. Because your name is similar, I thought he might be related. He always talks about health and how to be healthier.”
“Is he called Dr. Chet?” I asked.
“That’s right!” he said.
Then I said, “That’s me. I’m Dr. Chet.”
His reaction was terrific. He thought that was the coolest thing. I thanked him for asking me if I had a son because that meant my voice didn’t sound like an old man. It’s nice to have your ego boosted like that once in a while. We’ll see each other again on the surgery table this coming week so he can replace my other lens. I certainly appreciate his expertise.
I’m going to take next week off and enjoy Riley’s Spring Break while I recover from the surgery. For sure I’ll be writing about it at some point, and the surgeon said if I had any questions about procedures, just ask. I certainly will take him up on that.
Because spring is a time for nature to renew the earth from the winter, take some time to practice some new habits to enhance your body’s renewal. A couple of hints? Eat better. Eat Less. Move more.
What are you prepared to do today?
