Wow, I can't believe you ...To Evie from Sara...<br />Wow, I can't believe you held it together at your shower with all this dark, scary stuff storming inside you. I know it wasn't the right time to share with us since you weren't certain of the diagnosis, but I look back at that day and it makes me sad to think that you were so distraught but had to hold it in. Don't do that again, ok? (Even though I know you will). Your story is unbelievable, and I had a very similar scare the spring that we returned to UGA from Oregon. I was taking my US Govn't exam at the end of school year, massaging my neck unconsciously while I organized my thoughts and I felt this gigantic node. I examined it more with my fingers and it was huge, and it took my breath away and made me completely forget about my exam. For about a week, I really thought I had cancer! They never really knew what caused it, and a round of prednisone cleared it up (get this: spanky, our mutt mix, was on the same drug for allergies that week!) but I'll never forget that feeling. Funny thing is, the part of the future I most dreaded was having to tell Larry that I couldn't work at Camp Twin Lakes because I had cancer. HA! Ah, the college years. I was curious how you discovered you had this, and what prompted you to see a doctor, and it's all just so scary. Google is the WORST; when I was pregnant with Sam and they told me weeks before he was born that I had extra amniotic fluid, I got on the internet that night and viewed the most horrific photos of deformed children. I was convinced that our unborn baby had Spina Bifida or something horrific, and I recall that breathless feeling of dread and fear driving to our ultrasound, to find out more (luckily, he's healthy as a hog!). True to form, I've written a novel here but I appreciate your honesty in these posts. And I must say, you are an excellent writer! You have such a beautiful way of expressing yourself...thank you for giving us this gift of insight into your world. You are breathtaking, my bride-to-be!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8272241101415661533.post-85221300103857936482009-09-25T10:09:03.149-04:002009-09-25T10:09:03.149-04:00Thank you so much Baraka, Tijana, and Patty! :) Y...Thank you so much Baraka, Tijana, and Patty! :) Your love warms my heart.Eve Bralleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03863854375394921480noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8272241101415661533.post-84133548791021076462009-09-24T18:15:08.538-04:002009-09-24T18:15:08.538-04:00good daygood dayAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8272241101415661533.post-30335089110476346042009-09-24T14:33:07.332-04:002009-09-24T14:33:07.332-04:00Love you Evie!
