Infidelity/WAH, my story pt 10

[PsySara]

Sky,
WH is the kind of procrastination, he will put things off until the last minute and then wonder why I am so stressed out. This was just more of the same for him.

I am in NY for the weekend staying at a colleagues place while visiting another colleague who is terminally ill and probably going to be passing away soon. When I was a resident we had a tightly knit group. It was majority male and I call them my brothers. Well one of those "brothers" found out he has pancreatic cancer and now he is fading fast. He was in the ICU for the last 2 weeks and they stepped him down to regular floors yesterday. He looks like a skeleton with skin. Earlier this month I texted all the other "brothers" and we all came to visit him yesterday for 2 hours. By the end of the visit he was drifting to sleep but seemed very happy we came. My heart was just broken into a million pieces, he is in his 30s and is graduating from his fellowship next week. He will likely not be able to attend his own graduation.

WH knows this colleague but was unable to get this weekend off as he is scheduled to work. Initially WH wanted constant texts and calls to speak to me. He seemed almost clingy and wanting assurance that I was thinking of him. However he cooled considerably by the night time last night and was short and mumbling. I was puzzled but didn't spend a lot of time thinking about it. I stayed up late playing board games with my friends and slept like the dead. Now I am drinking homemade chai and planning the day visiting more friends.
