ring ring ring

Every time the phone rang today I was filled with dread. I knew that the odds of the call being from the endo's office were close to zero, and yet still I am dreading that call.

Today's calls ran the usual gamut of no-ones and solicitations, but I also got a few calls from folks just checking in on me -- do I have any more news? how am I doing? do I need any help with anything?

Such calls are nearly overwhelming in their kindness. I feel guilty because I cannot give any more information than "I should know more on Monday, hopefully," and "I'll let you know as soon as I know more about what's going on."

The proper term is supportive. I really do feel as if some of the weight of the uncertainty is lessened by sharing it.
