The notifying

Day 3
        We have told our respective families and surprisingly they all took it rather well. I was glad to hear that because I was worried about her folks as they are going through their own trials with her father. He had hip surgery and now has little to no feeling in one leg. My family was good too although one wanted to be a cheerleader and try to pump me up, one wanted to analyze my feelings and one wanted to be the voice of the miracles of modern science. I don't know what I was expecting to be honest. I guess I needed them to know and share in this initial grief and just let it be that.
         An appointment has been made for Tuesday at Froederdt so we will know more then. I imagine things will get going really fast after that. The last 3 days all we have been talking about is cancer. We promised today that this weekend is cancer free and no talk of it. Just be ourselves and deal with all that after we see the doc. I'm trying not to look online too much about it. Was going to stay off of facebook because when it does get out I don't know if I can deal with all the well wishes, prayers and general sympathy posts from people I hardly talk to. I know they say the more people to help the better. I believe that as well but I just don't want the hollow "thinking of you" posts to my wall because I know it's just to make themselves look/feel better in the eyes of others.
        So today as I'm drenched in sweat being sick as a dog I am going to think of things we can do this weekend to keep the "C" word from occupying our thoughts.
