half the battle

i think people are generally attune to their bodies.  i could tell you what i think is going on with mine.  a doctor could read me results off a page and give me his most informed opinion, but i am not surprised.  or upset.  or relieved.  initially, i am not anything. 

my reaction (or lack thereof) is handled the same way i would attack something at work -- nodding in understanding, methodical, matter-of-fact.  process, process, process. 

do i have any questions?  no, why would i?  after all, i knew all along.

like clockwork, i gather my things, handle the co-pay.  out in the waiting room, i see a sea of faces.  an elderly man locks eyes with me, and for a second i wonder if he can read my face.  because not even i would know what it says.

i flee for the door... and there i run into the real world.
