I had a "strength of weak ties" moment last night. One of my old high school classmates, who has made quite the career for himself as an ER nurse, decided to put his nurse hat back on when he found out about my brain situation and make sure the doc knew what he was doing. While the information and reassurance wasn't strictly necessary, it was nice to know someone thought enough of me to offer that!

"I must not fear.
Fear is the mind-killer.
Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration.
I will face my fear.
I will permit it to pass over me and through me.
And when it has gone past, I will turn the inner eye to see its path.
Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain."
