Dear T,
Sorry I did not give you any warning before blurting out my C diagnosis today. I know I shocked you because for once I was looking you in the eye when I spoke. I also heard you do that heavy exhale thing you do when you are trying to release stress when I left tonight.

I hope you have learned from my mistakes. Get yourself tested and take care of yourself.

I felt the pain of reality after our session tonight. I felt so alone, just like I did the first night home after the accident. I know I have a long fight ahead of me and I will have to suck it up and rely on others once again. At least this time I will have you to guide me through it. Please be open minded and patient with me. I will try to get better as quickly as possible.
