My Dan’s not been feeling tip-top lately.
He’s had tests.
Then more tests.
It’s said waiting is the worst part.
I don’t yet know if that’s true.
We’re in the waiting part.
The knowledge part doesn’t start until
Tomorrow.
Maybe.
Still, we know this: There are changes.
Something here … and another something
Over there, and possibly something else just below.
There are hardenings, subtleties, fine distinctions,
Unremarkable notings …
All of which are caught in this net of watch and wait,
And the magical thought that if I just don’t think about it,
It won’t happen, and if it does happen …
It won’t be true.
I discovered your book as a freebie. And I thought that maybe the memory loss issue in your book would be applicable to my life as I am newly diagnosed with MS. I think I have discovered an absolutely new favorite author!! I am so sorry to hear about what’s going on with your husband. My daughter has a congenital heart defect and a stent and has had four heart surgeries. Hospital world is not fun. You both will be in my thoughts and prayers!
