Same, Same, But Different

It's been months since I have blogged! A lot have happened during that time up to the present time. I feel like the same person, but then again different. It's like in Bali where there are so many copy cats. Really, they can copy just about anything. So, when in Bali looking for that special something and something similar pops up. We say "Same, same, but different." And that is how I feel.

First of all I have to thank my God, my family, friends and others for their support, prayers, flowers , cards and love while in the hospital. I am now home settling down in my new bed and new care givers. (Believe it or not I am being bagged with the AMBU bag to practice in case of an emergency and the vent fails to work as I write this.) On the day of my birthday party I was rushed to the emergency room for respiratory distress by Jan, Malia, Spike, Natalie and Renee. . Jan noted that I was acting very lethargic and used a pulse oxyimeter to measure the oxygen in my blood which happened to be in the 80's which is not a good sign and away we went to Queens Medical Center. While checking into the emergency room, I must have lost it because I don't remember anything happening. When I awoke, I was in the respiratory CCU feeling groggy, in pain and something was sticking out of my mouth.
After a few days a traecheostomy was done and a vent hooked up. The three week stay at the hospital was not the best. It's so much better to be in your own surroundings. I now lie in my bed attached to my vent for the air I breath and I sometimes ask myself if this was the right choice! @#!

I thank the Lord for all His Blessing and for giving me another opportunity to life!

I am the same person but different!

Good nite Bella, good nite Violet and good nite Spike! Nana loves you all!
Aloha and God Bless
