I saw this clearly when I went thru a bunch of surgeries last year. One would think cancer would be scary, painful, traumatic even...but I was numb. I just did it and didn't feel any of the anxiety a normal person would feel. My feelings are all attached to the after stuff...dis-figuration, stiffness, etc.
Thanks for pointing this out WP. I had no emotional reaction whatsoever when I went through my cancer. I had a hard time understanding why people reacted the way they did when they were told they had cancer, when I didn't act that way at all. I'll have to give that some real thought.
