Imagine for a moment if heart break or heart ache were actual medical conditions and we had to seek the help of a physician. If we had to endure monthly checkups, I would imagine mine would go something like this:
dr. amour: hello there. it's been two months since the incident, how are you feeling?
moi: better than i was two months ago, that's for sure.
dr. amour: any major aches and pains?
moi: major, no. however minor pains come and go
dr. amour: that is perfectly normal. should cease with time. are you experiencing any other symptoms?
moi: sometimes i feel like i am going through withdrawal and missing the cause of my condition. this mainly happens around bedtime.
dr. amour: hmmm. this sounds like you may have a case of missingcuddlingitis. again, this is normal. have you been engaging yourself in any activities to help with your condition?
moi: yes, i have been training for a half marathon, taking ballet, and surrounding myself with loved ones.
dr. amour: that is great to hear. cardio is great for the heart and your test results show that you're producing a great dose of endorphins. endorphins should definitely help ease any pain. from your x-rays i can tell that surrounding yourself with friends and family has healed your heart quite a bit. great work.
moi: yes, i noticed that i am feeling better and better everyday. although i still have those moments of weakness.
dr. amour: that's normal for the pain to resurface sometimes. just give yourself time and keep up with your activities. now if you excuse me, i must visit another patient. believe it or not, but your case is quite common and trust me, your case is minor and you are healing very well. keep up the good work and I'll see you next month.
moi: thanks doc, i really appreciate it
WOW, I heart this post. I think I may need to see doctor Amour...is he willing to come to DC? :)
