Hi Again Bill,
I would love to come home, Bill, to see my brother, sister, extended family and friends, including you and Scott Yee. But I'm afraid my trip in 2002 was my last trip home. My health is failing me. The breathing difficulties are getting worse. It looks likely that I will be on oxygen within weeks. I will be admitted to a local hospital 21 March for an overnight stay for an examination and evaluation with the aim of assessing whether oxygen therapy is appropriate for me. The respiratory nurse is sure that that will be the outcome. So my good friend, while I would dearly like to come home one more time, it is simply out of the question. My brother and sister, their spouses, and a couple from Oregon we've known for more than 60 years, are coming later this year to see me.
Thanks so much for the good wishes. Take care.
My Best Wishes to You and Jann,
Chuck
Chuck,
I am really saddened by what you have written above. I am so sorry to hear that it has come to that. However there is always hope as those who are your friends began to pray for your recovery from this problem.
I have a lady friend across the street with even a worse problem but it has mostly attacked her lungs. She has been on oxygen full time now about 2 years. Sure she has good days and bad days but she is fully functional now that she is on oxygen. I just helped her get a portable unit and she is back driving, just took a trip to Hawaiia to visit her sister, is keeping house and doing her yard work.
Keep the faith strong my brother and we will keep praying for your recovery.
Best to you,
Bebop
