Thank YOU for still being there. Have been in and out of the hospital. Pancreas, small intestine, and growth found in gallbladder. All kinds of problems, the first diagnosis being Crohn's Disease. I have COPD from smoking!! No one's fault but mine.Right now I'm in the throws of bronchitis and don't want hospital/pneumonia. My Higher Power let me in on the same thing that Patty aka Ladybug did. I have to USE them, NOT them me. I have 2 days cigarette free. I need YOU!! Hope I can still be a help and give LOVE and ENCOURAGEMENT!!!!! As soon as I get comfortable (will I ever) I'll straighten out my days nicotine free. I've been losing 3 or more enzymes from my pancreas so I have 2 new pills......antibiotics for infection and Creon that I always take with meals AND snacks. Supposed to replace lost enzymes. I still come on to check my mail. I ALWAYS KNOW THAT YOU'RE NEVER FAR AWAY!!
