I don’t know what is wrong. I have a garbled message on my answering machine that mentions heart problems, hospital, and sick. She’s been fighting something with flu-like symptoms for a couple weeks now, and the last two days she has taken a turn for the worse with a high fever. She has not called back since. I may be over-reacting. I may be reading too much into an incomplete message. Maybe she’s just in for routine observation. The point is, I don’t know, and it’s killing me. I have a ticket to England on hold, and am waiting for more information. I can’t take this - first the CO poisoning, and now god knows what. I love her so much, I really couldn’t go on without her. She would be flattered by your giving her a thought. Whatever you may think of me, **Fierra** has offended and been a jerk to no one I know of here. God, I’m so scared again. ☹ ☹ ☹ ---

My best wishes are headed to Fierra…that would explain why she wasn’t on ICQ the past two days. I pray it’s nothing too serious ☹ Keith ---

I hope Fierra gets better soon, and I hope you’re OK, Anthracite. Things will get better. They always do. In the meantime, anything I can do for you I would be glad to do. 🙂 -Dave ---

Oh, no! I hope she’s ok. I know this is probably useless advice, but try not to worry until you know there’s a reason to worry. Keep us posted, I’ll be thinking of her. Lauren ---
