Theresa,

This past New Year's, reunited with friends whom I hadn't seen in literally years, we all agreed that we (as individuals, collectively and globally) all deserved a better year.

I'm glad that you're feeling better physically. Nothing is more bewildering than having your own autonomic functioning go on the fritz.

I know it's not my place to offer advice to a total stranger. That said, here goes. Let it go. Your analysis of the critical email was completely accurate, and I hope it was cathartic.

And yes, I know that's easier said than done. A couple of years ago, I had a run-in with a psycho doctor at Stanford Medical Center. She insisted that I was "morbidly obese", needed to lose "at least 100 pounds," and that my ideal body weight was 130 pounds. I'm 6' and weigh 230. But, I still get angry when I think of this incident. (Needless to say, I raised a stink and found a better doctor who has nothing to do with Stanford.)

By the way, you dealt with Yngve in an extraordinarily even-handed way.
