I am a firm believer in listening to your body.  It’s the best medicine.  We don’t pay enough attention to our bodies and we ignore what it’s telling us.  Our bodies are very aware beings controlled by a fascinating brain.  Let’s take the time and be better listeners.

Yesterday, I had a very sudden painful onset of an earache in my right ear.   Yes, it’s the same ear that was stricken with those nasty displaced crystals.  It was painful to the touch and my ear felt like it was about to deliver a baby.   The pain went to a serious 8 very quickly as I drove myself to the urgent care.  It hurt so bad.

I called Sean and he met me at the clinic.  Lucky for me,  I was taken back to the exam room within minutes.  I described the pain to Sean as he tried to touch my ear.  Are you kidding me?  He says, “It looks like you have a bump.”  He knows better.  I immediately burst out in tears as I imagined a tumor growing at exponential speed.  The tears soaked my face as I let out primal cries.  Then, the pain disappeared.  Really, poof!

The nice doctor came in and I said, “You fixed me.”  He looked in my ear and said I had a perfect ear!”

The power of crying!  When someone says, “Don’t cry.”  I suggest you don’t listen to them and listen to your body.  Let it all out and cry like a baby.  It works!
