Read the book The Color of Rain. My friend's story. In 2020, I was misdiagnosed with a terminal illness.....for 6 weeks I thought I was a goner. I have a great Memorial Service playlist.

I remember when that happened. Did they ever find out what it was?

Jeez Brian. The title of this week’s Anecdote had me worried. Glad you’re okay, but I’ll admit that I had to read the ending first before I could start back at the beginning with some relief.

Wishing you continued good health !

Great post, Brian...glad to hear you're OK. You know you did the same thing to us that the nurses did to you, right?!

True, but I really thought I had the 'Big C' for a bit, so the title is accurate :)

The balance of humor and the gravity of facing mortality is both raw and comforting. It's powerful to read that, despite everything, you chose to see the experience as a gift.

The honesty in every line makes your post, Brian, so relatable.

I'm inspired by how you found solace through reading, even in the face of fear.

Thanks for sharing your story.
