Worth the Effort

Doc!

I’m down 8 lbs

You were right!

It was what I was eating.

Me: “feeling like a genius but trying not to show it”

That’s great (trying to hide the “I told you so” that was eager to peak its head)

He: besides I have a new reason

Me: oh that’s right… he’s here!!! 

He: *brings out pic of his grandson* look at that beauty

Me: nodding in agreement … I concur, he is so cute!

He: you got me thinking last visit doc! I do want to enjoy my retirement years… so I changed how I eat. I even tried goat meat.

Me: tasty huh?

He: yeah doc … eating that and cutting down on beef

I also started with the health coach you sent me to.
She is good.

Me: so how do you feel?

Cos it’s much more than your labs looking pretty on my computer

He: doc, I feel great.

Me: please explain

He: dang doc…
I’m sleeping better
I seem to have more energy
And I feel less achy

Me: was it worth it?

He: worth what?

Me: the effort

He: yeah doc! Thanks … but I’m having steak for my birthday!

Me: that’s fair!

Conversations continue!

Hugs,

Dr. Olabintan
