Calling My Mom After a Health Check

I called my mom yesterday after the doctor visit.

She was nervous, and I could hear it in her voice.

I said, 'Here is where things stand right now.'

I told her the results were mostly fine.

But one number was a little high.

I explained, 'What we are watching for is my cholesterol.'

She asked what the doctor said to do next.

I told her about the small diet changes.

I also said, 'You can ask me anything.'

She laughed and said she just wanted to know I'm okay.

I felt better after telling her the truth.

Being honest with her made us both calmer.
