Each day the doctors give me medication through an I.V., I'm not allowed to take it off. My muscles are so stiff from laying in this bed for many days in a row. I can't remember the last time I smiled or felt like laughing. I know it's been weeks. I am trying to recover from the emergency surgery they had to perform just two days ago. It's not going too well on account of I still feel like absolute crap. Even my breathing machine is having trouble breathing for me.

I'm falling through a black hole that goes on forever, and it's filled with coldness and sadness. I feel like it's sucked out all my hope. What am I to do? Augustus was my hope, my vacation from stress and worrying.

I no longer have my strong beacon to hold onto. I am drowning in the ocean of cancer. I know I am not alone in this ocean, but it's a huge ocean. It's easy for someone to get lost.
