No contact. Nothing. It is 3:38 am there. Here I sit. Waiting. And here I will sit, sleepless, should it take until Monday, until I find out where she is, and if she is alright. So here I sit. That is all the information I have at this juncture. ---

Does she have a history of cardiac problems or this something new? Sometimes people who are ill can incorrectly self diagnose racing or seemingly irregular heatbeats to be cardiac problems when they are simply temporary symptoms of the illness. ---

Sometimes people who are ill can incorrectly self diagnose racing or seemingly irregular heatbeats to be cardiac problems when they are simply temporary symptoms of the illness.** She did not suspect anything other than a bad cold. They admitted her after several tests. ---

Best of wishes to both of you. If you have any medical questions, gladly email me or whatever and I will do my best to answer you honestly. I can’t give advice, as I’m only a med student. Anyway, I hope it is nothing, but my wishes are with you. ---

Thank you guys. It’s 1:45 here, 7:45 am in the UK, and still…no phone call. Well, this all-night session will continue unabated then. ---

I don’t suppose you know the name of her doctor or the nearest hospital Una. I feel pretty sure that she’s aware that you’ll be worried as heck about the answering message and that if she’s able to get to a phone to let you know what’s going on she will. Any family you could contact to find out more? ---

So many thoughts to think, so many words to say …and here I sit in a pool of my own helplessness and ineffectiveness, unable to put into words any of it. Una, the “Whatever you may think of me” comment only elicits from me much respect and admiration. What I think of Fierra is much the same as a result of what little I’ve gleaned from her posts here (and elsewhere) and particularly her effect on you and your devotion of her. She must be one special woman indeed. I hope that she is okay and equally aggravated over the lack of available phones in the hospital, wanting just as much to talk to you, but simply unable to due to hospital bureacracy. You are both in my prayers. Please keep us all posted. ---
