Worried

I'm telling ya, when it rains, it pours!! I'm just getting back on my feet again and feeling good. I'm very thankful for everything. That test left me feeling like crap most of the day, but this a.m. I do feel more normal.
I talked to my brother last night. He informed me that he was in the hospital for 4 days last week. To make a long story short, his lungs colapsed. His doc told him that if he smokes again, he will be dead. He's on 4L of oxygen now, loads of steroids and inhalers, and because steroids wreak havoc with his diabetes, he'll probably have to start insulin injections this next week. The doc also said he'll probably be a candidate for a lung transplant within 5 years. He's 52. To a lot of people who may read my blog, thats old...but think about it...it really isn't. Both of us have this issue about living past our parents' age when they passed. My brothers' dad was around 52 when he passed, our mom? 61. We both want to beat the odds. I'm considering giving up on my trip to Cali and heading to Florida to see him instead. Cali can wait until Hawaii!! I don't know...we'll see how things go.
((((HUGS))))) It's almost the weekend!!! :)
