Sorry to hear all this, Fish. My sincerest wishes for a speedy recovery. You sound like you're in great spirits tho. And since you are, how about arranging to bequeath me your amateur ringflash? I'm not overly sticklish about effective watt seconds being, uhmmm... effective.
Since I'm a nosy sort, what are we talking about here? I certainly ain't no doctor but, from what you said about your symptoms -- the adema (sp?), shortness of breath, quickened heart rate -- the obvious is congestive heart failure. Sounds horrible, I know, but from what I know about it, it's usually quite treatable, often with medication. My former-mother-in-law has been living with it for 30 years. She's 82 and still quite active. Or am I way off base? (Especially considering that part about your new boyfriend and his latex gloves.)
