But, while I'm waiting for recovery, I appreciate all of you even more as I got up this morning, took some meds and then here I am with my friends. Didn't even have to get dressed. And, as I read your messages its like each of you is right here and for those whose voices I have heard I hear them through the typed words. In fact just now was hearing the most beautiful French Canadian accent. And, for those I haven't heard I imagine. > > > > Well, actually not quite my story today. > > Yesterday started experiencing some lung pain and my inspired volume > was down as were sats on exertion.

Guest guest Posted January 1, 2008 Report Posted January 1, 2008 Now you're into my kind of movies. Jealous Tina went to Alvin and the Chipmunks. I loved Monsters Inc. Over the Hedge was pretty good too. I was scared they weren't going to make it back in Madagascar, but it was a good movie, too. > > > > Well, actually not quite my story today. > > > > > > > > Yesterday started experiencing some lung pain and my inspired > > > volume > > > > was down as were sats on exertion.
