My friend said last night that she couldn't stop worrying about the color of her hair. I felt like telling her to shut up, it sounded so silly. Why am I like this?
As a transplant recipient, you may have lost much through illness. Many of the worldly things that seem so important to others, you may have come to realize are not quite so important to you. Without realizing it, you have learned to identify with another source of strength within yourself. What you need to do now is learn to harness this strength to help you with the tolerance and compassion with which you will wish to deal with your friends.
