That's so sad. A couple of months ago my eye doctor passed away a couple days after I had had an apt with him. He was only 44. It was a very strange feeling to be just talking to someone and then know they were gone. I believe he also had a heart attack which was surprising to me given that he was thin and actively worked out and ran marathons.
This happened w/ my former primary care doctor, though I hadn't seen him in awhile. He wasnt much older then me, and I'm w/ my wife at her primary doctor's practice, and I get asked if I wanted to switch to her doc. I say, nah, I'll probably just stick w/ Doc 'X'. Her doc says that he is deceased. It was one of those "I'm pretty sure he isn't (me)...I'm pretty sure he is (her doc)" conversations. Weird, you'd think I would have at least gotten a note or something from the medical group. Think that it was cancer in his case; very sad no matter how ya slice it.

^sympathy pains? I think that might happen to more people than you realize
Do not know Snick. May be. It is a nuisance, that I do know. Have to keep my mind busy, ignore it, and it goes away.
DK, that's messed up. I hope that you can get it to go away permanently - so glad you made it through all that.
