Got out of the hospital yesterday afternoon. Had pneumonia and a slight case of the flu. Got sick saturday and kept getting worse until monday evening when I just couldn't motivate or breath good so finally consented to go to emergency. Felt like I would have to get better to die. With my emphysema, it wasn't a good situation. They pumped me full of antibiotics and they got me back to feeling somewhat human again but have to take it easy for a couple of weeks. I don't think I will be running any foot races for a while. I had my pneumonia shot last year but it didn't keep me from getting it but it may have been worse without it.

Oh Gary, I'm so sorry to hear this. There is a lot of flu going around here as well. Glad you're feeling a little better. You take care of yourself now and take it easy for awhile. I'll keep you in my prayers.

Aw, Gary, I am sorry you had to go through this. But, it is good to know that you were better enough to come home. I'm sure Tootles & Becker will love you back to health!
Take it easy like they told you, OK? (((Gary)))
