@NatureLover no, no need to be sorry really .
And thank you @Emelia8 too for being here.
My heart rate is down into the mid 90's so it's getting better.
I will mention it to the doctor in the morning.
I will have to look again and see if I missed any of your questions @NatureLover

OK...mid 90s is better...as long as you're sure you feel OK to keep posting, Lee? Do you need more calming time? Mentioning to your doctor sounds good.
It sounds like you really liked Manhattan. What about the rest of New York City?

Aww, thank you, Lee, you're lovely ❤
I'm glad it's back down to the 80s 🙂
It's nearly time for me to log off for the night... I hope you can stay fairly calm for the rest of your night...and that you can get some good hours of deep sleep.
I hope to see you tomorrow @Lee71

I'm still here @Lee71 💓 listening in, but taking a back seat for a bit. I know you are very close to @NatureLover so giving you space while shes around.
Good night to you also Lee. I will respond to your questions tomorrow, when I'm hopefully feeling a bit more sane than I do now.
