Okay so that title is a bit melodramatic, okay a lot melodramatic. But with what I have been through with doctors not only this year but over the past 30 years, I tend to get melodramatic about even an annual physical.

Yesterday was my annual physical a time when I wonder what they will find this time. This time nothing just a normal annual physical. lol
Why is it that walking around a foreign city alone is exciting for me, spending time with a new people group to my city that there is little or no information about is thrilling for me, learning a new language is refreshing for me, but send me to a doctor and alarm sounds in my brain.
Kind of like if Jesus asks who wants to go to another country on short notice, I would raise my hand saying please send me. If he asked who wants to meet a group of people there is no information about, like the Yazidi people when they first came to my city over twenty years ago, I would be like the kid raising his hand to get the teachers attention saying me me.

But if Jesus asked who wants to go to the doctor, I would be ducking under my desk. 🙂
At least I feel I can safely say, it was my last doctor visit for this year. Okay so there are only two weeks left in this year, but at least for those two weeks, no doctors.
No doctors until next year. Saying that to myself makes that feel like it is in the distant future even though January 29, 2025, my next Rheumatology appointment, is next year.
For now, it is break time from teaching, time for relaxing, drinking coffee, blogging and most importantly spending time with Jesus.
Thank you for reading. God Bless.
