Hi To All Members

HI ALL,
STILL PRETTY SICK.
CAN'T SAY TOO MUCH.
MY VOICE HAS BEEN GONE FOR SOME TIME NOW.
IT'S TRYING TO COME BACK NOW THOUGH.
IT COMES AND GOES.
WHEN IT COMES BACK IT'S A HOARSE WHISPER AT BEST.
JUST WANTED TO GET IN TOUCH.
NOT FEELING REAL ENERGETIC.
GOD BLESS,
JB  ;)

I'm finally back Gwen and feeling much better. Got my voice back and am back at work but still doing some coughing and sneezing. This is one of those things that really hangs onto you and it has been two months now. I think my immune system was down due to my operation. Thanks bunches. God Bless, JB

Thanks so much Phyllis. Been trying to work and still get the rest I need. I go to work, come home, take a bath and fall into bed. My dogs are miserable because we don't go for too many walks lately. Just not up to it. God Bless, JB

Awww, I hope you get better soon, Judy. I agree with you on the death sentence - it was abolished in the 1960s over here - and the serious crime statistics speak for themselves...

Thanks so much Jack. Still pretty sick but am on the mend I think. I agree with you about the crime stats. Nobody is afraid to do anything anymore except the law abiding citizens. If we defend ourselves we could likely be the ones to go to jail. How bent and twisted is that. God Bless, JB

Thanks so much Linda-Marie. I do so appreciate your prayers. Still not 100% but think I'm on the mend. Still pretty hoarse but it comes and goes now. Still get tired really fast but am trying to go to work too because can't afford to stay home anymore. As you know I just got out of the hospital from having my knee replaced back in November and was home for 10 months. God Bless, JB

Get well soon! I hate getting sick and to lose your voice for so long has to be extremely frustrating. I hope you get well rather quickly! Take care of yourself, eat ice-cream...it helps!
