I had been keeping a tight lip about my older sis' heart surgery because like her, I couldn't really talk about it. Talking about it made it more real and scary.
She's recovering in the ICU right now and had her heart valve replaced this morning. The surgery went quickly with no complications and she is reportedly doing very well - considering.
I was in complete denial this morning and was shutting down until lil sis called with the good news. My co-worker kept asking what was up and I just kept telling her that I was tired... I didn't even realize myself why I was clamming up. I put it out of my head because I just couldn't think about it. A complete mental block.
But as soon as I heard that older sis was doing well, I perked right up and could feel the weight lift off my shoulders.
I knew she'd be fine but it didn't stop me from worrying.
