This diary is late in getting posted. I am sorry, but have been in bad health and tonight is the first I've been able to write much. I am writing to thank two wonderful people - one I know and one I have no idea of whom they are, but they are owed a huge thank you from me.
Kelleyrn2nominated me, much to my surprise, for a lifetime subscription to Daily Kos. She knew that I, at 67, on an income of barely over seven hundred dollars a month and custody of my nine year old grandson, could never afford to splurge for one. As she told me after the fact, we both get by on a wing and a prayer, therefore, she was kind enough to nominate me.
And some unknown and very caring person decided to give me a fantastic present and made one of my dreame come true. I have no idea who you are, but I thank you from the bottom of my heart. The ads really slowed my old, refurbished computer down and now I glide through everything. You are truly an angel and I wish I could repay you some way. If you ever decide to fess up and let me know who you are, you know how to reach me.
So you know why I'm late writing this is that on October 30, I almost died and I'm still recuperating. I was rushed to the hospital with pneumonia and congestive heart failure. I was not able to get oxygen in and felt like I was drowning. When the ambulance came, my blood pressure was 256/158 and my pulse/oxygen was 61%. My lungs and heart were filled with water and my extremities were numb from lack of oxygen. Was in ICU for five days, and, fortunately, I'm still here. Still tired and weak, but am recuperating rather well.
So thank you again my lovely Kelley and my lovely benefactor and may ya'll's holidays be everything you wish.
And please people, please give gift subscriptions if you can afford it and care to. And I don't know if this is okay or not, but if Aarujo doesn't have a gift subscription yet, I do so hope some one will gift him one. Happy Holidays to everyone and may all your dreams come true. Or at least a lot of them.
