Last Wednesday I spent the day looking for a place to live, climbing many sets of stairs, schlepping through unit after unit. I felt unusually short of breath and tired when I returned home. I decided to take a nap. As soon as I climbed into bed my lungs felt like they were filling with water and I could not catch my breath. My mom had been staying with me to go on the housing search. I asked her to call 911 between breaths. I ended up in the hospital with congestive heart failure. Further testing concluded that my kidneys had shut down causing a back up of fluid that my heart tried with all it's might to help eliminate but it ended up in my lungs. The preliminary findings are LUPUS but next week I will see the kidney doctor to chart my course of action so that I can get myself back to normal. I am left with damaged kidneys, a weakend heart muscle and high blood pressure.
If I had I gone in for my regular doctors appointment they probably would have caught it sooner. I ignored the symptoms and landed myself in ICU. Please don't do what I did! By ignoring my health I put the most important thing in my life, my family and friends, through a lot of unnecessary anguish and I feel horrible about it. PLEASE THINK ABOUT WHAT IT MOST IMPORTANT AND TAKE OF YOURSELF!
Thank you everyone for your prayers and thoughts for me and my family! I am going to be just fine, I am in good spirits and I am blessed to have many friends and a loving family! Thank you all and it's good to be back, there is no place like home!

Having recently accepted the nomination of a fellow blogger to run for President I felt it was appropriate to update my profile. I have lived in Florida for a long time, but have lived in 13 States in total. I feel that having lived in a quarter of the states I am qualifed to be President. I do have a political affilialtion, however that is not important, I will do what is best. If you contribute to my campaign I promise to make promises that you want to hear!!!! If you don't vote for me, don't vote for anyone, no sense in wasting your time!
