@julbpat, A picture is worth 1000 words or so they say. I think even your kitty would be saying no to the doctor. I agree with @lagrange5 that it's getting down to the hours and concentrating on the big picture will help you get through this miserable time. Years ago I had to wear a blood pressure monitor 24x7 for a week including going to work at my tech writer job. And every time it took my blood pressure I had to stop what I was doing which was annoying when I was out for a walk. Praying that this too will pass for you.
