Thought about trains while in hospital.

Glad to hear that you are going to be OK.

Glad that you are better and back at home an work.

You are so right, something like this really brings home what is important - family and loved ones.  Because we do not know what tomorrow brings, live life every day as it may be your last - because one day it will.

I often am reminded of a little poem I once read:

"Yesterday is history,

Tomorrow is a mystery,

Today is a gift,

That's why its called the present!"

Now, go run some trains and let the worries of the day evaporate.

Happy railroading,

Don

Sounds like you need to keep this book handy.

I am glad you dodged a bullet. Follow the doctors' orders, NS, with this wake-up call, try to get as much out of life as possible. (do as I say, not as I do)

Yes, do as suggested, take care of yourself and watch what you eat.  

Take care and listen to the doctor. I know it hit you like a ton of bricks. My first introduction was when my doctors meter could go any higher. Better eating, exercise and prayer helped me get through it where I got off the needle and now just use medication.

Hospitals have a way of bringing clarity to life!  Glad your doing well.

You are so right! I was in the hospital with Pneumonia... awful two weeks, gut when I got out I notice my ulcer and stress were long gone... Have to put things in perspective. 

Best time of the day was when the kids came to visit after school and we played Go Fish!

Wow, glad you're doing better.  My wake up call came 5 yrs ago with a very serious blood infection.  A month in the hospital, 6 transfusions and the priest giving me Last Rites sure turned my world around.  Take care my friend.

As I was in bed looking at t.v.I wondered about which locomotive I would operate.One of my mountain type steamers.Then my mother came to see me.I tolded her I loved her.And through all my troubles in my childhood.She was always there with me and my crazy train thing.And thank you for your reply.

You got that right my friend.At first I thought it was gas.So I got some gasx and went to bed.Next morning still there not as bad but still there.I went on to work and 2 hours later. Thats when the presure kicked in.So I was on my way to hospital.Well after that I have to stay away from some types of foods.

I have not seen a picture if a train like this in a while.This means he is hauling tail.They used to do this in cartoons with trains.A great way to show speed.

Best wishes for a full recovery! I too thought of trains when I was in the hospital.
