Each time, when I've been about to hit the "send" button, my bratty cat, Chloe, has walked on the keyboard, and my message got erased. So I'm not letting her post, or Baxter, either. They both are selfish!!! So I can be, too.

Someone I know had similar symptoms about a year ago. She's a young (thirty-something), slender woman. I thought I saw her having a heart attack (she works at the Dollar Tree store that I went to every morning before the pandemic to get a newspaper). I literally told her to stop what she was doing and get her bum to the emergency room. She didn't. She waited until after her shift was over. Anyway, turns out, they gave her the same tests and monitor that you're getting. And she came back to work a few days later, and she cried when she saw me. She said she was going to be FINE, but only because she'd gone to the doctor when she did. She had your symptoms, and they could have led to life-threatening problems. But they wouldn't, because the DOCTORS CAUGHT IT IN TIME!!! Modern medicine is wonderful. I'm so sorry about your losses. But you're not going to lose your life over this. Doctors can deal with this. I love you. Let me know how everything goes, and if you don't, I will send my cats over to bite your nose. I'm hitting the "send" button now, while I can!

Love,
Stacey McChew-La
