Finding out what is right with me.

Tomorrow, I’m heading to the doctor to find out what’s right with me.

There’s a temptation to use the phrase what’s wrong with me, but it strikes me as inaccurate because I know that my path is my path. Whatever bumps or obstacles or detours that I encounter exist as opportunities for me to learn and grow.

My path is perfect, and there is no gap between how today is and how today should be.

I promised to keep you up-to-date. Tomorrow, I’m going to be meeting with a doctor for my pre-colonoscopy consultation. In another week or two, I’ll be getting a colonoscopy so that the doctors can identify whatever it is. As I mentioned before, there’s a possibility that it is colon cancer – and so I have been mentally preparing myself for that prospect.

In the meantime, I feel perfectly fine. In fact, I broke a personal record on the treadmill today (4 miles in 25 minutes and 28 seconds). I am completely comfortable and have no discomfort in my body.

I have made the choice to perceive this medical expedition as an adventure – perhaps even a treasure hunt! I don’t know what will come around the corner or the next bend in the river, but I have high hopes of finding something of great value on this odyssey.

And so, fellow adventurers, onward we march!
