Just wanted to say hi and see how you were doing...I'm not doing well, of COURSE. In fact, I'm doing pretty terribly...stupid BP stuff...but you've probably read the posts from yesterday...went home early, and really need to go home early again today...dunno about that though...really don't want them to know here...you know how that is...i've missed work with the RA crap, then the flu thing...now BP. Don't want to get in trouble...and am almost out of leave time...like 32 hours left is all...

Anyway, I just wanted to say hi.

Love you

Hey you! I am so sorry things suck right now and I can't be there for you. I'm doing really really well. We have let our families know that we are not going through with the whole big wedding thing in April. We are going to a JP some time in the next month or so - the stress of all the planning was making me crazy. Then, we are going to have a reception in April or May for everyone. No babies yet, but that's ok too. We aren't really stressing about that at all.

Work is busier then I could imagine, and we aren't at our busy time yet. I have 18 voicemails from yesterday that Ihaven't even listened to yet!! The other day it was 24 just in the afternoon!!!! But I love it.

Mike goes to school/work in a little over a month and we are both thrilled!

NOW, the important stuff:

If you are in bad shape, you do whatever you need to, work be damned. Your health is most important.

What is the status on your RA? Did your GP get you some pain meds?

****NAG ALERT****
I know you don't want to deal with the whole ptsd thing. It is ugly and painful. But you are NOT going to get your bp under control until you do. It is a double edged sword. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE pursue the therapy of some sort. I'll do whatever I can to help you through all the pain you have to dredge up, but I think once you break through the initial horrifying pain, it will quickly get better. You need to deal with this so you can fully accept that nothing was your fault and you couldn't have prevented it. You were helpless.

Know that ANY time you need me, I am here. If you have to call collect, do it. Hunt me down. Even during the day, call the house and tell Mike to have me call you. I can do it. No matter what.

OK?

Hang in there!
