Yaayy! Hiro has come back home !

It seems like I have this section of my brain for useless or seldom used information. Knowing about the pneumonia has been beneficial for me, as I had my first case of pneumonia when I was fifteen and have had so many cases of it through the years. I am very careful during the winter months about getting in contact with ill people. I had a case of pneumonia three years ago when an "friend" of mine bumming a ride home from me. She had been in contact with her nieces and nephews who had colds. Of course she doesn't use her brain for much more than holding her hair on, and she was all over the children like a cheap suit. Of course she got a cold from them and bummed the ride home from me. I had a bandana for her to use to cover her nose and mouth, out of respect for my asthma problem. She took the bandana and laid it on her lap using it only to blow her nose. Then instead of taking it home and washing it for me she left it in the car on the gear shift knob. Also she didn't cover her mouth or nose when she coughed or sneezed so germs were flying like crazy in the car. Of course I got the cold which quickly developed into pneumonia. I ended up at the hospital and on antibiotics and steroids to help my breathing. The dim wit couldn't understand WHY I was so upset with her. I no longer give her rides during the winter months and will seldom come in contact with her during other parts of the year. Let your Dad know about the pneumonia and the ease that even a simple cold can turn into a serious situation. Believe it or not that is what claimed Jack LaLane. He got the flu which turned into pneumonia and it literally overwhelmed his system in just a couple of days, even though he was a very health conscious man...it was from the fact that he had had pneumonia previously and it was easier for him to get it again. Well my coffee break is over (I was working on teddy bears before I decided to check the Lot to see if anything was going on.) and I should get back to work. Have a great day!

My dad has had it three times already--pneumonia. I didn't know that about it returning again easier if you had it already. You are an encyclopedia of knowledge Loverbear!

Vets nowadays in my city, always blame the patients rather than admit their mistakes. When he let my cat ran away, my dad was very mad but he didn't even feel sorry and asked us to let the cat go if we couldn't find him within a week. You should read my first started discussion to know what really happened to my cat if you wanna. I just wish the people in here could care more about saving the animals :) Anyway, thanks for your concern ^^

Don't worry I did read your first post about it and sounds like you had a horrible time. I to wish more people cared about saving animals as I love all kinds of animals, especially my pets. Let's just hope everything is fine now :)
