@rosemarya, thanks for the gentle hugs. Yes, my neph is a gem. She and I have great rapport. She trained at Mayo's and came back here to serve her home town, is considered one of the best in the country. She specified feeling worse as in increased shortness of breath, fever, increased nausea and/or headache in spite of new tummy med (compazine.) Said go to ER any way I could get there and have her and surgeon paged. But she said she didn't think it would come to that. Very reassuring. Surgeon says she's one of the best, primary says same thing, she says surgeon is one of the best. I know the surgeon very well so I believe him. Also trust primary, who gave me his personal email, and he says same thing. So my anxiety level is down a notch. Neph called me last evening and said she was a little surprised at my anxiety level as she thought of me aas fearless. Hah! I told her I compensate well, LOL.

@kamama94 There are many of us who compensate, or mask, what is really going on inside of us. It's a survival tool. Been there, doing that, bought the t-shirt! Rest as much as you can or see fit to. Come here and gather our support around you, a cloak of strength. We're next to you, virtually to be sure, but never far away.
