Hello!
I was going to log on curezone tonight and post a quick update on my husband's remarkable recovery. Then I got all caught up reading the "
Webmaster Forum " recent posts and now it's an hour and a half later and I have almost forgotten what I was going to post here......
Anyway, my husband is healing very nicely from Legionnaire's Disease and I feel very blessed to have him. I have always felt that life here on earth is nothing more than a learning experience and this illness has taught me several things. More than anything....NEVER TAKE LIFE FOR GRANTED. It can be gone in an instant. Another thing.....Never take your mate for granted. I know when you are with someone for a period of time, it's easy to become irritated with them and so easy to see many faults in that person. But, I remember the day my husband was hooked up to life supports and I didn't know if he would come back to me or not, the harsh reality hit me in the face. Suddenly, all his faults and irritations went up in a puff of smoke and all I wanted was the opportunity to see him sitting in his favorite chair one more time and just be able to see him smile. I have been given that opportunity and boy, do I love seeing him smile......even if it's a weak smile. I also love seeing him walk....even if it's with a walker for right now. At least I have him.
Another great thing I learned was when Spirit told me the hospital was the best place for him. GREAT ADVICE!!! I think I had become so "curezone dependent" that I believed, at one time, I would never have any need for hospitals. How wrong. I now have changed my thinking that you do all you can to prevent illness, but definately go to the doctor in time of need. I also remember being so radical in my thinking that I even thought about giving up my health insurance! I asked Bob (another curezone moderator) if he believed Dr.
Richard Schulze had health insurance. At that time, I thought if you kept yourself really healthy, there was no need for health insurance! (Ha) How wrong was I!
I have also come to believe that several months ago, God was preparing us for this illness in several things that happened. I will save that for another day.
Just remember to tell your significant other how much you love them. Tell your children you love them. You never know when it might be the last time you tell them.
