Exactly my point. When I did this to myself I saw a close friend of mine on a gurney in the ER, whom after a few weeks after found out that he needs a new heart and is currently on a transplant list. He went in the same day I cut my hand for what he thought were symptoms of pneumonia and 6 weeks later was discharged on a transplant list after 2 surgeries: one to repair a hole in his aorta and another for bypass. And yes my empathy can only begin to imagine what he is going through and yet be thankful of my own condition.....to think that we were in the same place at the same time and to have such different injuries. Mine life changing and his potentially life ending.
vadr_ I don't think you're stupid..... I do however think that the thread is, in light of what I'm going through currently. Don't take offense to it, again,....I was just trying to shed some perspective on you, which is probably why your friends and family treated it as nothing.... because it is.:facepalm
