The Waiting...

The phone call started like this:

"This is ____ from ____hospital.  Is this a good time to talk? We got your results back..." 

You never get a phone call from the hospital when it's good news.  
Because I tend to have hypochondriac tendencies, I could feel my anxiety level rise and tears start to well up as I asked questions about the possibilities of what this could mean while trying to hide the fear in my voice.  

Is it cancer I kept thinking.  I'm too young Really God, now?

It's probably nothing--but I'm meeting with a doctor this Friday for a follow up exam and I'm nervous.

  16. Don't worry Ruthy Ann. There's a saying that it's in my head that I'd like to share with you...."it hasn't happened, until it's happened."

    Everything will be okay sweetie! Good luck!
