    Author Notes:

    The LONG awaited Diagnosis

    Bette: I’ll make the arrangements.

    Dr. Harris. Good. I’m sure you have many questions.

    Bette: Actually I’m really having a hard time getting my head around this.

    Dr.
    Harris. I understand. I want you to write down any questions or
    concerns that you have and we’ll address them at the appointment.

    Bette: OK.

    Bette
    stands and reaches across intent on shaking Dr. Harris’ hand. She is
    somewhat surprised when Dr. Harris rises, walks around the desk and
    pulls her into a quick, yet gently hug. Dr. Harris smiles reassuringly and offers her hand to Kit, who shakes it gratefully. She reaches down and picks up a folder containing different informational pamphlets and hands them to Bette.

    Dr.
    Harris: If there’s anything you needs to discuss with me and you don’t
    want to wait until your appointment, please feel free to call me any
    time.

    Bette: I appreciate that.

    Dr. Harris: I know it’s hard, but it’s important that you try to remain positive about things.

    Bette: I’ll try, Dr. Harris. I’ll try.

    ****************************************************************

    Bette
    sat at the kitchen table in relative darkness; the glow of the digital
    clock on the stove cast an eerie green light across the small room. The
    rest of the house remained dark and silent. Bette used to love the
    moments of silence between the loud hustle that made up her life. But now the lack of noise and life left her feeling unnerved. It made her feel alone. She realized that she was alone.

    Kit’s reassuring words and positive attitude leaving the hospital did little to soothe Bette’s feelings. The car ride home had been mostly silent as both women fought to understand the grave enormity of the situation. When
    they arrived back at the house, Bette politely declined Kit’s offer to
    stay with her. The last thing Kit wanted was to leave Bette alone. Past
    experiences screamed at Kit to insist on staying regardless of Bette’s
    wishes. However, Bette alluded to having a headache and the need for a
    nap and complained that she would be unable to do so with Kit in the
    house. The fact that Kit had not
    been to The Planet at all that day compounded the argument. So Kit had
    left, promising to return later on with dinner.
