A stressful week

This week was stressful. Even though I took 2 days off from work and spent some time at the ocean, it was when I returned home that the stress began. A good friend of mine called me on Tuesday and she was in the hospital. She was told she had to have a quadrupal bi-pass surgery the next day. I was in shock. I've known her for 15 years and she's been a good friend at work and shes someone who will always make you smile.
My reaction was anger. I didn't want her to go through this. People at work kept asking me questions, and I didn't want to talk about it. I guess I felt if we didn't talk about it, then maybe it wasn't real. Today her husband stopped by work to pick up insurance forms and I met him in the parking lot and we talked. He was in tears as he talked about her and how strong she was through the whole process. I'm happy to say she is better today and hopefully she'll be home early next week. I still don't want to talk to people about it. I don't understand that part of me, but it is what it is.
