Good luck, my friend! Your presentation sounds reasonable, and given how long you've been enrolled, I would hope that they could make allowances for your lapse. My fingers are crossed!
My path to feeling better got derailed Monday night by a nasty stomach flu and a 102 temperature. The upside is that I just don't feel like eating. At least nothing bad for me.
Lame excuses? Maybe. For both of us. But just because they are excuses doesn't mean that they weren't real. I think we've both had very emotionally tough years so far. You know the saying, "Just because you're paranoid doesn't mean you don't have a valid reason." Translate that to excuses. The only thing you can do is forgive yourself and move forward.
Keep us posted, and good luck with all of this.

p.s. My gyno just called and told me that my pap results were good. Since I have a history there, I don't overlook this one as a total free pass. A blessing, for sure, because my stress usually shows up here.
