Thanks for the positive reassurances. I am being myself, I think. I am sure this is temporary.

On a different note entirely, there was a Facebook post yesterday about my donor, from a newspaper article. The article was written by her husband. I have always had sincere grief for her parents and widower, but this article has had me really distraught. This young woman should not have died. She went to the ER with an asthma attack at 4:30 in the morning and couldn’t get in the door she went to so she called 911. They contacted the hospital and told her where to go. She told them she was dying. She died feet away from the entry. By the time they got to her she was gone.
The on-duty nurse really blew it.
I knew her name because the parents had been very forthcoming when they responded to my letter to them.
