Outside in The Empathy Factor

        In the early days after my diagnosis as I cruised around on the Internet and ran across an article about some fellow with a brain tumor.

       I began to read. Hm. Seemed like a nice enough fellow; had a wife and a couple of kids. Dang I hate that. I felt sorry for him.

        I read on. Hey, it was a Doc. For Heaven’s sake.

        All of a sudden I realized I was reading about me!

        I wanted to say, “Hey y’all, don’t worry too much. The cat ain’t suffering. He’s gonna be OK; it’s just gonna take a little time.

        Man I felt kinda silly when I did that.

        Oh well.
