Update on me and Brian

Good Morning, all is well here.  Spent the day at two different hospitals yesterday getting 2 units of blood for Brian and his chelation therapy pump put in for the week.  When we got to the hospital they couldn't believe he was still walking because his blood pressure was 100/33.  When we left it was 91/40.  Today it has come up to 110/50.  His doctor is going to do blood studies to see why it is so low.  Yesterday was a long, long day we left here at 7:30 a.m. and didn't get home until 6:30.  We did get a good sleep tho last night and he sees to be doing ok today.  My friend in Florida is ok, but has no power.  My daughter's job in the health care field here is being elimnated, but she will be able to apply for part-time, it all depends on other's seniority there as to what positions will be left.  I am waiting for mammogram results and I think those should be ok.  No news is good news, right?  Seems I have been in a state of constant stress again, but so far managing to stay sane, lol.  My mental health is ok, at times of stress like these I do worry about breaking down again.  I must remain strong for however long I have to.  There is no choice.  I know smoking would only make me feel worse and so I don't do that anymore.  Praying everything will work itself out here.

I'm a widow now, my husband passed away January 1, 2018 He died of COPD, and pre leukemia and the flu. He quit smoking 15 years ago which gave him extra time. I am a mother, and grandmother. I have smoked for 47 years. I am going to have my forever quit and I'm doing it for me and my two daughters so I can live longer and be with them. I like to read, swim, garden, crochet, paint and doodle. I also enjoy walking and visiting with friends and family. I am 100% making this my last quit. I have been in denial about what smoking has done to me and my kids. I must make a new life for myself and it doesn't include cigarettes. I may already have COPD, but have not been officially diagnosed.
