Pink Story: Normal

I tried not to make too big of a deal of this biopsy.  If it turned out to be nothing, I didn’t want to have over-dramatized the situation.  However, since I didn’t know the future and only knew the present, I still had to deal with every thought and feeling in the meantime.

So far, I’ve had a routine mammogram, had a follow-up mammogram and been told I needed a biopsy.  Nothing has really happened yet, nothing is really known yet, but I was a mess.  I went to work the day after my loving encounter with people at church.  

I went through all the motions.  I didn’t tell anyone what was going on.  I thought I was doing quite well until I got into my car to go home.  I broke.  I broke hard.  I cried all the way home.  The weight was back and it was getting heavier.  I immediately called my mom when I got home and asked her if I was normal.  

"This wasn’t a big deal." I told myself.  She had had biopsies.  She had never told me about crying all the way home.  I must be making a bigger deal out of this than it was.  I must be just worrying about nothing.  

My mom assured me I was normal.  We talked for a while.  She let me know it was okay to cry, it was okay to be worried.  I was ok.
