Recovering

OldBones-Larry
2 4 64

I promised to try and update everyone.

I have been sleeping quite a bit.

I cough a lot and am bringing up very little though.

My chest is very tight, but, I am able to move air OK.

Continued bouts with low-grade fever and chills.

I am feeling better than when the big red bus picked me up though. Then I wasn't sure if I would see the sky again.

This looks like it might be a long process to recover this time.

As you might imagine, I am not happy with what Nic and his friends have done to my body. I will get over this though

Be safe out in that desert. Be very watchful and wary for the traps Nic and his buddies might have set for you out there. They could have them hidden anywhere. 

Be especially watchful if you are close to Desolation Point out in the Relapse Rocks. Many have been blindsided there and have fallen over the edge.

Keep your journey alive and going friends.

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.
