The Breaths We Take
I want to thank everyone who extended well wishes during my recent stint in the hospital. I am overwhelmed by the compassion of my friends.
I am feeling great and glad to be back to work. The docs are still not sure how the pneumonia came on so strong but at last check everything is clear and I continue to take a round of antibiotics at home as a precaution.
The photo below was taken by my wife. The quote is from a gift given to me by a family member some time ago, I do not know who the author is. I have created a screen background and uploaded it at as a zip file in several different sizes. Feel free to use it as your "spring has sprung" image and know that when you look at it, I am thinking of you.
Thanks again, I love each and every one of you.

Glad to hear you are back and upright! I was worried about you - don't do that again!
Thanks Mike, I'm really bummed about missing Atlanta. I'll be at #rebcphx though!
That's a gorgeous photo! Is your wife a photographer by hobby or occupation?
ID,
Thanks. I'll be sure to forward your comment to her. Laurie is a real estate photog, she has been at it for over 10 years. Her site is http://www.sitetraffic.com
That's a gorgeous photo!
Your wife's photo caught my eye. I got pneumonia a few years back which lasted quite a while. I had smoked cigars before and quit after that. It really knocked me for a loop. I hope you are felling better.
Glad to hear you are better. I know exactly how you feel. Last year I ended up in the hospital for 10 days out of the blue. I got Guilliam Barre. One day I felt fine, the next day I had some muscle pain and weakness. By midnight of the following day I couldn't walk. In a few days it will be exactly a year ago. You find out who your true friends are when you end up in a situation like that.
So glad to hear you're feeling better. What I didn't write in that post is that the day I came home from the hospital, my sister who is 3 years younger than me died in a hospital in Missouri from complications very similar to mine. I rarely heard from her and I had no idea she was sick. Very painful to hear and surreal at the same time. On top of that we had a whole host of other very unlucky things happen. Needless to say, it's taken me longer than I had hoped to become fully functional. Trying times build character and you definitely nailed it regarding friends, it puts your relationships into perspective in a totally different way.
I should have shared more of my trials and tribulations with my friends but it was all so much I couldn't bear the thought of being that much of a sad sack, after all, there are people going through some rough stuff these days. That was a big mistake.
I'm glad to be getting a start on the comeback trail.
Thanks for sharing, Happy 1 year anniversary of health!
