Hi Annette,

Yep. My heart attack and peripheral vascular problems were caused by high
blood pressure and a lot of stress. The blood spiking through your arteries
can really tear them up. But I don't think you can remove *all* stress from
your life (else how would you get anything accomplished?) and learn to cope
with the stressors that you can't get out of your life. BTW, I have not
learned how to do that yet. ;-D But I'm wishing you the best on controlling
that blood pressure!!!!! If you're interested in subscribing to a blood
pressure email discussion list, let me know. There's good support there,
plus cardiologists who participate.

Doss's robes"!!!! It was just perfect.
