Hi All

[Guest guest]

I took a little respite after Jim being in the hospital and flew to Southern CA

to visit my friend, Meredith. She invited me for her annual Christmas Party. The

day of the party, I started feeling crummy, but I made it through the party and

the next day I was pea green sick and stayed in bed all day and this evening was

my flight home. I didn't know if I could make it, but it was an evening flight,

so I stayed most of the day in bed and felt a little better this evening,

although, I shouldn't have been on the plane with everyone, but I wanted to get

home to my own bed. I wore down my resistance with Jim all the week before,

going back and forth an hour on the road each day coming and going.

As soon as I get in the door. " Home Sweet Home " the phone rings and it's the

nurse from the nh saying, Jim's doctor gave him a chest X-ray and he has

pneumonia. His breathing is fluctuating and they have him on oxygen. Why didn't

the hospital pick this up???? I mentioned to them that his breathing is weak and

gurggly. I could tell them without an X-ray that he has pneumonia. I can't

go visit him at the nh, because I am sick. This is just horrible.

These last few weeks have been lousy, even my respite was lousy! Jan
