The Story: Part 11 Meeting My Parents, @ Pizza Hut

Terry and I switched drivers off and on, all the way to Afton. Sometimes, I would just break out in tears. Terry was a huge comfort to me. I am so glad he is in my life. I Love him so much.

When we get cell phone service back, (Smoot) we called Mom and Dad. MarJean was there and they all wanted to meet at Pizza Hut. I was all for it.

Terry and I got there first. I told Terry that I really didn't want to talk about any of this in public. I would break down, I was sure of that. So he took on the "HERO PROTECTOR ROLE." We ordered for all of us and waited for the threesome to arrive.

Mom, Dad and MarJean came and we talked for a few minutes, ate our salad and Pizza. MarJean asked how my results were and if they had come back yet. My "Hero Protector" came in and said we would talk about it when we got back to mom and dad's house. Well that gave dad the cue to "Bring it on." He knew that things were not good. MarJean again being a LPN (nurse) said.."So it's back huh?" The waterworks began once again. My hero said "I think it would be better if we just talk about it at the house." Thirty questions started at me. I squeezed Terry's hand and gave him the look of it will be Okay!

I explain what had happened on the way here and the responses were interesting to say the least. "Looks like another doctor or two needs to pay their mortgage." "The really don't know for sure. right?" " Actually, there is a lot they can do with cancer now" "I've been there, you'll be alright" "D*@%. doctors." were the responses of my family. I responded with "At least they found it early hopefully. They'll just do the surgery and it will be done. It should take care of it. Beside, I have Terry to take care of me."
It was over telling the family. I don't know why I get told or tell people in public places. My first bout of cancer I was in Target when I was told. This one Walmart, and now my parents and sister, Pizza Hut. I need to stay away from these places..... more to come........
