Walking in My Shoes

I'm busy working on the Patients for a Moment blog carnival and having a great time doing it. I've been traveling the web to meet new patient bloggers and reading some funny, inspiring, informative and heartwarming posts.

In my travels, I ran across this post at Science Blogs from a professor and cancer researcher. Seems he developed pneumonia because he kept trying to push and push until he crashed and now has to spend four weeks in bed to recover.

His post is titled: Meditations on those with chronic illnesses and I thought it was an interesting look at the process of a "healthy" person gaining some empathy for those of us with chronic illness. Check it out and let me know what you think.
