Dear friend..
I'm sorry your going through terrible tough times, and that your bearing it alone..

What a time for a spider to visit and lash out !! Didn't that spider know you already had enough on your plate??
Pete, the weather outside is cooling and probably adding to your pain level.... and for you friend, it seems when it rains, it pours, with everything you are dealing with...
Even though you didn't have the strength or stamina to prepare for the lawyer stuff, ya just have to let it go....and not let it add to your stress..
Pete, please drink plenty of water and at least what you're able to eat, try and make it somewhat nutritious...I don't mean to nag but it's important to keep yourself nourished and hydrated..
I know it's awful when your body is out of sync and all the natural rhythmns of eating and sleeping are erratic and out of wack....
Eventually you'll regain some equilibrium..hang in there..
I'm glad you're able to make an appointment with your doc..
Listen to some good music..it might help you get on an even keel...
Sending you lots of thoughts and hugs

Hope4thebest
