Head vs. Heart

A very good friend of mine was diagnosed with metastatic liver cancer on Sept 1, 2009.

My head immediately said, "She's done for - this is the beginning of the end".
But my heart said, "This is some mistake, she'll be fine and next year we'll laugh about this."

I was torn between my head and my heart. Sadly, 3 months and 5 days later my head was proven correct.

Now I'm faced with a diagnosis that isn't nearly as serious as hers was and yet I'm torn. My heart says, "this isn't serious, its going to work out fine." My head wants to agree but its stuck in the script from last time.

When my friend died I lost my invincibility - now I'm worried about me.
