BPNurse and Capriciousness - I agree with you both. Something that scares me is the fact that I'm only 21, and my BP has been progressively worsening. Who knows how much more "narrowing" the future holds? And yet, I suppose that at the end of the day we must define "success" in the context of our unique life circumstances.
