Life at a stand-still

I found out today, in a hospital visit, that:
- A very good friend of who was diagnosed with Cancer and was being treated with chemotherapy had died a week ago.
- My HgB level has dropped to 11.5 from 12.
- My blood pressure was at a high 134/86.
- And that I had an alarmingly high pulse rate at 133.

I hereby declare mourning for 3 whole days..
