A few months ago, I went to see a new doctor. I was nervous, since meeting someone unfamiliar in a medical setting always makes me uneasy. During the exam, he made a comment that caught me off guard: \u201cYour husband must feel lucky.\u201d At first, I felt uncomfortable and even a little upset.

Later that day, as I changed at home, I caught my reflection in the mirror. That\u2019s when I noticed something I hadn\u2019t before\u2014my posture had improved, the scar from my surgery was healing beautifully, and all the effort I\u2019d been putting into caring for myself was showing. For the first time in a long time, I looked\u2014and felt\u2014healthier.<\/p>\n
And then it clicked. His words, though clumsy, weren\u2019t meant the way I had taken them. What he had noticed was the result of months of discipline, healing, and commitment to my wellbeing. In his own awkward way, he was trying to tell me I should be proud of myself.<\/p>\n
