Heidi probably wouldn't want me posting this but here goes.
Most of you are aware that Heidi lost much of the use of her right arm years ago to a cancerous tumor. She has no upper arm muscle, and no muscle in her back on the right. She has to take pills that numb her nerves or she's in terrible pain. Because the muscle is gone, her arm does not circulate properly and at times she has to use this machine that pushes the liquids in her arm into place or else it swells all up. And she has to spend a lot of time resting.
She should be a Page but she sees that as "giving up."
I bring this up because (a) I won't be there this event and I hope people will look after her and make sure she isn't pushing herself and (b) so people can understand why Zat isn't out on the battlefield casting Life spells and instead asks for people to bring the dead bodies to her for the Life spells.
Heidi does not want to see herself as handicapped but basically she is, and I hope everyone will understand. At the last event, she overheard a player complaining about Zat not being out on the battlefield, as if Zat was afraid, and it hurt her a bit, because obviously she would much rather be healthy again.
So go visit her in the Guild, and please understand if she is merely laying there for a while or sitting in her chair with her arm wrapped up in her machine.
