I wish to thank everyone for your concern about me.

On July 22nd, my sister messaged me that our aunt had passed.

I was already having problems with a depressive episode and this pushed me over.

I have been talking to my sister, my nephew, and one of my cousins on FB regarding my aunt's ceremony.

I also received news that I have a genetic mutation that will predispose me to clotting.

My COPD has flared as a result of anxiety attacks over all this.

My roommates are keeping an eye on me to keep me safe and try to help me recover from all that has been heaped on at once.

I am still traveling my path on my journey and it is safe.

I wish you all a safe journey on your travels.

One step, and then another, will get you to where you want to be.

Larry

About the Author
I am a male that underwent coronary artery bypass X3 (triple) on 10/22/13 at the age of 55. I was living on about 20-30% of one coronary artery and my left heart output was only 20% to 25%. I spent a week in the hospital after surgery and went home. Then had to go back a day later for another week because I had pneumonia. Finally a few days because of a slight arythmia. All told it has been about 2 1/2 weeks. I am past the cravings by now and only have the urges to contend with. I really don't suggest that anyone quits smoking using this technique though. I'll have to carry the scars from that day for the rest of my life. The large one down the center of my chest, and the ones from several "silent" infarctions. I came that close to the next world. Never again will I subject my body to that (at one point in my life I was smoking 5 packs of cigarillos a day). I now have to say N.O.P.E. (Not One Puff Ever) every day of my life.
