hello Chyia,
thanks for the message. how are you doing?
things are okay, I guess. still haven't made any decisions on the friend who's message was discussed. just not sure and maybe I just don't care or want to go thru all that - who knows.
just spending some quality time with my pets. I have one batch of baby kittens, about 3 1/2 weeks old now. and I have another mom cat ready to pop anytime soon. 
back to your 'family' comments - thanks, its great to know that people can really understand. it was hard for a few years, having people around me telling me what I should be doing medically and stuff like that. but eventually, I decided it was for me - my body, my MI, my struggle, which makes it my decision and my choice since I'm the only one going thru it! it can be lonely as h*** a fair amount of the time, but it is what it is.
I have one sibling who is a nurse and one who is a vet-tech. the difficult part was the 'holier than thou' relatives I have in my family - meaning having this MI was almost my fault or that I did something wrong. still dealing with all that sh**.
and then there's the rural community I live in, which is the same one I grew up in. so although I didn't have a bunch of medical professionals in my family, it meant that my mom could make a doc apt and 'make' me go to it saying it was just a routine check-up or whatever, and then I get ambushed by the doc once I was there because my mom had told her what the real reason was that I should be there. no joke - true story!
some people in this world...
