Hello everyone. This is the first chance I had to post since my previous post. I never made it to the solarium. I have been on a ventilator with chest tubes in a medically induced coma, as what lung I have left finally gave way to the Atelectasis and closed up and collapsed requiring intubation with chest tubes. I'm still on a ventilator and stable at this time but I wanted to get this out to everyone just let you know that I'm still here barely. Hope you all are enjoying your week doing the things that you do. Sending special thoughts and virtual hugs to everyone. Bye for now.

Lots of prayers coming your way.

@usmccam Good to hear from you. You hang in there even it is barely!
Have been thinking about you a lot—just your designs and things you’ve written about. Not a whole lot going on here and had a quiet, but nice Easter. Anyway, darned I had hoped you would get out in the solarium. Am so sorry your lung gave out. I am sending you a bunch of virtual hugs,smiles, and good wishes along with heartfelt prayers. Until we hear from you again, be as well as you can and God bless you. Mary

@usmccam I so appreciate the effort that it took for you to post. You are in my thoughts and prayers.
Be blessed. I look forward to your next post.

@usmccam Thanks for checking in. I was worried about you. If you feel up to it, there is a private message for you from me to share things you might enjoy. You'll find it by clicking the envelope icon at the top next to your profile photo. I'm going to see my horse today. He just had a therapeutic session with some myofascial release which is a form of physical therapy. It releases fascial restrictions and lets the body move as it should. He's been tripping a lot and had some overly tight muscles making him stiff. I never knew that the pressure of a saddle and the rider affects a horse this way, as does their habits of standing or laying the same way all the time. It feels great, and he closed his eyes while the vet was treating him. You can see my horse in some of the links I sent. I do myofascial release with my physical therapist and it has helped me a lot. Hugs to you. God bless.
