Oh the graphic, the graphic.
This made me feel some sympathy twinges. Ever get that. You see or hear about some bad injury and you feel a pain in your own body. When I read that bit about the coffee table, I felt this strange ping in my right shoulder. I don't know why there. And then immediately this tightening in my stomach. All involuntary.
Often I'll get these sympathy twinges, no matter where the pain or injury is in the other person, in my groin, in my balls.
I also get nauseated if I have to accompany anyone into a doctor's exam rooom, even if it's just something routine and insignificant. Taking my kids when they were little, for example, for their physicals, I'd break out in a cold sweat--while the doctor would be talking to me about their health, I'd be sitting there cold and clammy and trying to hold it together, my head getting lighter and lighter.
