I have been at my Dr.'s appointment, I am not ignoring you just busy with phone calls and emails.

Why is she so persistant with this?

Im freaking out a bit.


No freaking out like a "sissy girly man",
that's the technical term for not acting like a wussy man.

I hope I'm not getting too technical here ;-)

You can handle this.
You can handle this and a lot more like this.

How do you know how much you can handle yet?

I'm pretty sure I told you this was just the beginning,
what you had gone through so far was the "easy" part,
I meant it. There will be some tough days and some easy days and days that make all of this look like a piece of cake.

Handling it and responding in a cool, calm, collected manner is your job.

The way you used to handle things got you into this mess.

That's why I keep mentioning that "you can handle it",
because I have faith in you that you can handle it.
But it doesn't mean anything if I believe in you if you don't believe in yourself.

Start giving yourself some credit, you can do this, it's not easy but it won't be the most difficult thing either.
