Mair-
Actually I did make it to the pdoc Wednesday. It was rather sad actually, he was bummed because a pt. passed away. I was kinda bummed because of everything that's been going on-but-I'm tired of dealing with something I can't control at this point, so I'm trying (sometimes not so successfully) not to worry about it.
I broke down and cried regarding something that a visitor to my site told me-I think it was the first time I've actually felt true empathy for someone. I told my pdoc I didn't understand why I was crying, that I've never experienced that before, he told me it wasn't because I was sad, it was because I was empathetic to their needs. I was shocked-I didn't know that's what it was. It was a rather enlightening session.

> kiddo - your post was entirely appropriate - sometimes it helps to see different people put similar concepts into different words and you were injecting your personal experience. I don't know where akc's caustic response came from but just try to let it go.
