I think that Amanda may be correct. There have been so many emotions in me and around me in the last few weeks that my body is telling me to stop and take rest time for me. The body is so vulnerable when BOTH positive and negative energy is around because then the immune system is easier to attack. In the past few weeks I worried because Hayden was so slow---almost 10 days late--that I was getting antsy and beginning to worry about him without telling anyone. Then the mad dash to Grand Rapids and out in all sorts of weather and also Walter's cancer.
Hayden and mom are fine
but we consult at Henry Ford on March the 6th to see if Walter will be a candidate come May, for the robotic procedure that Henry Ford does with very, very good results for the prostate cancer victims that the center treats there.
I have to be careful that the virus or bacteria does not get below where it is now--in my throat. I quit smoking cold turkey on July the 30th of 1995. It was a very difficult thing to accomplish. But after years of smoking there has been damage caused to my right lung which allows bad things to get in and cause pneumonia. I did see the doctor this afternoon and I am taking an anti-biotic so hopefully the bad thing does not infiltrate the lung. I get pneumonia easily so anyone who smokes PLEASE, PLEASE stop.
I had tried the gum/the patches and nothing worked. In 1995 my sister-in-law came up to spend a few days at a place we had, at that time, about 4 hours north of us. She was dying of diabetes. When she tried to get up her face became very, very pale. She had never smoked. I looked at her and made up my mind to get healthier (as an aside the kids who always nagged at me to quit smoking did not even notice for 3 days!!)
I quit that very day and I have not smoked since July the 30th of 1995. My doctor said any damage to the lung(s) from smoking can not be fixed by quitting but I know I will never smoke again.
1 year later my sister-in-law walked into the light cast by the ONE above and she now has no pain and I hope she looks down and smiles because she is the person that finally inspired me to quit the awful habit.
So long story shorter I have to be careful as I have had pneumonia many times in the past 5-6 years and generally always in the right lung.
It is very difficult to talk as what voice I have is very raspy sounding and it is also very, very hard NOT to talk because I am a very verbal person.
Thank you all for thinking of me.
The grandson just born is doing wonderfully and his 'big' brother tells him that he loves him and that makes this grandma or 'muma' as Gavin calls me, have a happy smile in her heart.
I know I will be okay. My body just needs time to heal so it can fight this virus.
