Here’s a shocker for all of you: I am not perfect. I eat too much, don’t exercise enough, yell more than I should, and am not always the most pleasant person to be around. Sure, I apologize when I do wrong and seek forgiveness, but I am far from perfect. I am open to being corrected when it is done in a kind and loving manner. When it isn’t, not only does it not work, it damages the relationship and causes more discord than a kind word.<\/p>\n

I asked my doctor for some help with my knee as it hasn’t been getting any better. I asked about medicine and a possible new brace. His response was the brace I am already using is what they recommend and that they could refer me to a weight loss surgeon to try to get some of the weight off the knee. That was the response? No medications and no nutrition talk. Just go to the weight loss surgeon. I thought the point was for me to put off surgery as long as I could on my knee rather than do a different surgery. Could that be an answer? Sure it could. But is that the first step and to do that in an email? No. This is where some kindness and compassion could help.<\/p>\n
