Paralyzing...
When you get bad news unexpected - it can freeze you and lock you in place. The brain has to process more than normal. You were not prepared for this!
We have been preparing ourselves to hear the words colon cancer or surgery, on the 15th, or shortly afterwards. That's when we meet the surgeon.
Today was just supposed to be a physical, check the cholesterol, weight ... basics. Neither one of us expected the doctor to say we need to run some tests for prostate cancer.
Too many unknowns at the moment to even process the whole thing.
For every test that comes back 'normal', means we are no closer to finding out 'exactly' what's wrong. Thus they 'dig deeper', more intense testing, more types of tests.... until you start getting answers.
I don't exactly expect him to pass away anytime soon. It's the medical hell he's about to go through - the in's and out's and up's and down's ...
That's the shockwave of it all.
So far tests look good and he's healthy in all other ways. Heart doctor appointment early next month as well.
Ya, It's usually smooth in the beginning of the roller coaster ride... Then comes the scary parts that make you feel like your not going to survive this. Then comes the end, when you glide back into the station......
Blessed by God
Life's good @ the Bright side of the Barn
