Malady poker

One lady was telling me about her scary bout with arthritis, that later cleared up. She said she knew what I was going through. At first I was peeved because, well, she was comparing a disability with a death sentence, and never acknowledged that in the several times she mentioned it to me. Then, I realized, regardless of how socially maladroit she was being, her comparison was very real, because she's a painter, and the creeping removal of her ability to use her hands was maybe the most scary thing that had happened in her life. She was commiserating with my fright. Once I saw it that way I was no longer rankled. Just amazed that she'd not sense the risk of gaffe.
