I am so sorry to hear about this. ...Oh, Dear Emily-<br />I am so sorry to hear about this. Ulgh! Just the thought makes me hurt so much for you. Please let us know the day of your surgery so we can be especially diligent in our prayers for you.<br /><br />A couple of thoughts. Max's doctor used to be at the University of Utah hospital and I remember walking into the hospital and feeling something- a little heavy, profound, full of real life and soul. It felt as though it were a place of many prayers, deep introspection, the veil thin, and many, many angels. I really do think- especially through asking in prayers- that angels will be with you as you have to go through this yucky, yucky time. <br /><br />Like you, I have a place I go to when facing that nasty stuff that we really want to run from instead of plow through. It is morbid- so forgive me- but it is that opening scene from the movie 'Signs' when the mother is pinned to the tree and giving her last words to her kids. I go there in my head and remember that whatever the yucky stuff, I would do anything to be the person to be the one ministering to my kids on this side of the veil. Sometimes that helps me get a little mojo. <br /><br />All the same, I too would shudder. I am so grateful it isn't cancer (that would break my heart) and will be praying for a strength beyond this world to rest on you. Love you so much.Maxmommahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15336880441395039704noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32430870.post-36926302093683170992010-11-11T14:58:09.053-06:002010-11-11T14:58:09.053-06:00I'm really sorry you have to go through this, ...I'm really sorry you have to go through this, Emily:( Thinking of you.Keshethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11130226454584559513noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32430870.post-63931867892073792192010-11-11T05:40:14.243-06:002010-11-11T05:40:14.243-06:00Let music sweep you away to a sunny place during t...Let music sweep you away to a sunny place during the biopsy.

But, hopefully, you can bring in some sort of distractions (good music, or listen to a book, or podcast or something!). But, on the positive side, at least there is a very good reason you have to be awake for it! :) And, don't feel bad about the "pity party." It's okay to have those every now and then! It's called for!<br /><br />I have to say, because, well, maybe it's good for a laugh, that I wasn't sure when I saw "Betty" over at FB. My mind took it for some other "region." So, glad it's nothing like that either. Can't you just imagine my thoughts, "She has to have a biopsy? Oh no? Betty? Does she mean...??? Whoa! Not fun!" Glad that's not the case either!<br /><br />Love you! I hope this is all taken care of smoothly and without further issue!Laurenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13651121853711348642noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32430870.post-51818650223990124272010-11-10T10:10:07.261-06:002010-11-10T10:10:07.261-06:00Personally, I don't see anything wrong with a ...Personally, I don't see anything wrong with a good cry and a pity party - I think you deserve it after all you have been through! You have had to be brave and strong, at least in front of Noah, so you totally deserve to feel sorry for yourself now! It may sound strange, but I think you saw that little girl in the coffee shop for a reason. She helped you to realize how very lucky you are. I have a feeling you will breeze right through the I&D and be on the mend in no time! Your also very lucky you have family and friends to support you. I knew from the very first time I met you that you were a wonderful person and would make a great friend! :) Take care! <br />Stephsssaladhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00477762613874377287noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32430870.post-83880699135420932252010-11-10T09:57:26.532-06:002010-11-10T09:57:26.532-06:00Whine all you want that sounds like no fun at all....Whine all you want that sounds like no fun at all.
