I`m back!

Without going into a lot of detail, I just wanted to let everyone know that I spent a week in the hospital with Right Upper Lobe Pneumonia.  Not a pleasant experience at all!  I became ill on Thursday, Dec. 31 and was admitted to the hospital on January 3rd.  I should have gone sooner but I did not realize just how sick I really was.  I thought I had pulled a muscle or pinched a nerve.  I will be going to my family Dr. for follow up care but do not know as yet when I will be able to go back to work again.  I feel that the Lord has given me a 2nd chance and have now quit smoking.  I had my last cigarette on Jan. 2nd in the morning and barely smoked it as it left me gasping for air.  With my Dr.`s help, my family`s and friend`s and coworker`s support and encouragement I have no intentions of  smoking anymore.  I was amazed that I did not have a craving for nicotine while in the hospital but I was drinking a lot of water and juices which I`m sure flushed a lot of the nicotine out of my system.

I`ve been given a 2nd chance to change my life style and intend to live long enough to celebrate many more wedding anniversaries with Opa and to watch my 2 granddaughters grow into beautiful young women.

Thanks for stopping by!
