Default Hi again!

Guess I'm back. I been sick. I won't go into all the details but I been getting weaker for about a year.

Until May I was still working and being treated for asthma. I was too weak to work after the end of May and finally ended up hospitalized in August almost dying on the 2nd day there. Asthma right?

Nope. Congestive Heart Failure. So these days I'm pretty weak and Dr's say no work til at least spring and I won't be able to do what I did. (Auto parts delivery- mostly heavy truck.) So I no longer can drive my beloved F250. *sniff*

My wife laughed the other day because we were being driven by her friend and I saw it doing a delivery. She laughs because she told her friend "he's been off work since May and still calls it HIS truck!" HAHA.

The day I was hospitalized my 6 year old broke our computer and when I got home had to wipe the hard drive but I DO have the pics I promised to upload on a disc. I just have to find them. When I do I will post them.

I literally haven't been on here I think since like May(?) and love this site so better catch up. LOL.

I hope all of you had a lovely summer and may whatever God you have bless you all. Or whatever. LOL.

Thank you.

Thanks everyone. Only thing is even being online wears me out after awhile. Can only type so much then I get breatheless and have to go rest,

A lot of it's been meds. The last three weeks things are improving. Just slowly. Mostly I can't even make it upstairs to go outside. But I CAN spend time with my three daughters. THAT'S what matters!

Sounds like you had a bummer of a summer and need a holiday down under.

That's quite a typo. It was meant to say Welcome back, but it's too late to edit
