A LETTER TO MY DAUGHTER WHO ALSO HAS LOW BLOOD PRESSURE AND FATIGUE

  •  REBECCA MIGHT HAVE COLLAPSED WHEN SHE CRASHED HER BICYCLE

You are aware of low blood pressure, fatigue and a slow heart rate. I think I was similarly affected but I set 
myself up, as early as 1969, so as to be able to deal with it easily, too easily for Ma and Yo Ma, they 
thought they should be able to see me as trying harder, but I knew what I had to do to have any quality of 
life. I had to lay about for days at a time with my legs up at chest height, not a character flaw but a way of 
stopping the blood from pooling in the lower extremities, and allowing proper blood supply to the brain and 
upper extremities.I visibly zipped about the jewelry factory on the excellent rolling office chairs from even 
earlier than the 1974 Factory. Sitting must help to regulate the drop in blood pressure to the brain. Arms
and hands are used extensively in manufacturing; the arms had and have to be down as low as possible.

For Andrew to join up with my Mother who he has admitted was "highly abusive" to hide my inheritance 
from Uncle Albert because "Mother and I felt that if you knew you would not try hard enough." What 
about all alone Uncle Albert who must have been puzzled when he did not get a thank you? You refuse 
to condemn  them and so do your brothers, what moronic blindness.
  
Having to do all the new sharing of house and child work, 1980, so cute to have men doing that but not 
good for a Postural Hypotension condition, it will create total fatigue and collapse is just about to happen
and many stimuli can trigger it.The demands to do more than I was able to do drove me to total collapse.
In 1984, Doctors thought there was a physical spinal problem, previously collapse was thought to be Mono,
and it was thought to be psychological. When too much active work is done, I will literally throw up. 
I just had to be left alone to manage my work and affairs without the Family's bad driving me to exhaustion.
Can you not understand this now?  Try legs up above the chest as a resting and working position.

To do music and dance is a recovery strategy from head injury and not a matter to be prohibited by 
Mother, called Hubris by Andrew and "Who wants their brother prancing abound on stage playing 
harmonica?" and "Target his music it is all he cares about" by the Wife. None of their business!  

I knew what I had to do to deal with the condition I had and it is so cruel. abusive, controlling and 
disregarding that that reflects the only personality I saw that they exhibited
