Hmmmmmm......let's see. My husband was diagnosed with stage IV pancreatic cancer, and I recently came to the realization that my nursing career really is over. All within the past month. I'm surprised I'm NOT having any major problems with the BP right now, unless it's this slightly depressed and yet energetic state I'm in. It doesn't feel pathological, only a normal response to severe life stressors. In fact, I'm downright grateful my BP isn't kicking up......dunno what I'd do if it were to flare up with all that's going on.
