15. I've had pleurisy before brought on by immune system attacking the lining of my lungs

but this was so much worse and of such a short duration (only that one day and then gone by the next morning).

Thank you so much for your kind words. This has been a hell of a year for me. January 1st I was called to the hospital for my Mum who had fallen ill with the flu and she then passed on the 21st. Three weeks later Robert was diagnosed with cancer and then two weeks later we had to ring 911 and rush him to the hospital. During that stay his father passed away. Then in March during our second crisis which again landed him back in emergency, during that time his sister (who is not only a sister but a best mate to us both) her only daughter was killed in a car accident, leaving behind two young girls and broken hearts. September Robert died and then my cousin Karen died the first week of November.

I think my body is in rebellion against me right now in response to it all.

Honestly, when I read your post it made me cry. They were warm tears.

Thank you!
