Hit the brakes!!!!!!!!

Fa la la, Fa la la, life is good and we are all just cruising through it - until someone hits the brakes.  From 60 to 0 fast. 

I went to the gyn with a complaint of soreness and possible lump in a breast.  For some reason I really thought she would tell me the lump was in my mind and there was nothing there.  But no, she said she felt it and I needed to have a mammogram and ultrasound to check it out.   That news stopped my dead in my tracks.  I really did not think anything could be wrong even I though I had made an appointment to go to the doctor.  Denial?

I was speechless and did not know what to ask or say.  In fact, I was trying not to say anything and focus on not crying.  I left the room, got my paperwork and made my appointments for the follow up testing.

Needless to say I was (and still am) a wreck.  I quickly imagined worst case scenarios over and over.  I think of my mom and her passing.  I wonder how long I have had the lump.  Why didn't I do my self-checks.  Why didn't I make a doctors appointment sooner.  Looking at my boys would make me tear up.

I know that it could be nothing, but it is hard for my not to stopping thinking, dwelling, imagine what it could be. 

I can't believe how quickly the direction of your life can change.  I know it has not really changed, and in fact nothing is different then the day before.  But I am seeing everything different. I am realizing how precious everything is that I have been taking for granted. 

I am going to give myself a little bit of gas to get going and make it through these days, but I have definitely slowed day.  I am taking stock of everything I see and feel. 

My follows are later this week so we shall see what happens.
