4 day stay in the hospital will changes a man

I had the misfortune to spend Sunday Afternoon until 1 pm today in the hospital, with what they first thought was congestive heart problems now this will scare the holy heck out of even a God loving 52 year old man like myself. Thank the Great All Mighty it was only excess fluid in my lungs and around my heart. I lost 8.5 pounds in one day. Now the reason I'm writing this post is not to preach my belief's I have but to warn all of you who are long term smokers. guys it almost killed me in my prime. alone and very scared so if you smoke and can quit please do. it will save your life if only for a little while. I have had 1 smoke since being home and that's because I'm out of patches and do not yet have the strength to run to walmart. but rest assured I'll be there first thing to buy a 1 month supply.

on a higher note while down and out my 5 star general and girl scout comms came back to my great joy 1 half dollar clad coin a pf 70 uc the other an ms 69 both the silver dollar coins and my girl scouts proof came back a perfect 70 1 MS and the others PF 70 Uc's A great result just wish I hade time to replace the one ms 69 with another coin but I requested first release on all the 5 star coins so it would be out of place to have one of them without the first release so I be very happy with what I got. now I cant wait until noon on the ninth so I can order my American eagle set.

Happy collecting And may GOD BLESS your life has he has mine....Mike
