I'm sorry, Sarah.  :(

Thank you everyone.  It's just so damned hard when you can't be around your friends, and you can't attend the memorial, and all you can do is send a card.  It sucks.  But I really appreciate the memorial. 

It didn't help that today's assignment was a map of your training and experiences.  Nancy figured so much into my map, I couldn't help but break down in tears when I was introducing everything.  I'm only here on an MA because she encouraged and encouraged *rather forcefully* that I get my BA. 

I did my map in the form of a dance I choreographed and I told my group what had happened as I introduced myself.  I then said "Nancy always was a big proponent of the "suck it up and use it" methodology of performance, and so that's what I'll be doing today." So, I sucked it up and used my emotions to help tell my story.  I hope she would have been proud.

I'm so sorry, Sarah. That's so sad. I imaging your dance was beautiful and real. She would be so very very proud, I'm sure. *giant hug*

Agree with this. It sounds like a great way to honour her memory. ((HUGS))

Well, my FIL did my blood pressure and pulse the other day, and now I'm very aware of it and kind of worried. My blood pressure was slightly low, which is normal for me. But my resting heartrate was 90! And i've checked it at my most relaxed the last couple of days and It's always so high. I'm worried. My heart rate was always on the low side. I have called my nurse, bc this could be a reaction to my medication, but I can't get ahold of her. But I know that this combination can mean very bad news...
Finally living with my Husband in London after 6 1/2 years together but apart... and loving my life!

Fingers crossed that you hear back soon from the nurse, PL. Hopefully it's nothing major and can be easily fixed.
