Hi SJ --

It is indeed bad news that you will lose your job next month. I wish you great good wishes in getting out and finding a job now, so that you make a smooth transition.

That would do a lot to help your fears.

If you can afford it, you will be able to maintain your health insurance at your own expense under the Cowbra Law, for 18 months. I found a pdoc in New Orleans who gave me a whole plastic shopping bag full of Effexor samples when he heard I was out of work, so as others have said, don't give up.

Strange and mysterious things can happen for good as well as bad.
