Debra, I know how hard this is because I've been through most of the same complications that you have. The asthma, the pnuemonia, and that thirst that drives you crazy. I know it seems endless, but it does end, I know for a fact. I too questioned myself a lot while I spent those 10 days recovering in the hospital, so will you, but here I am 2 1/2 months later and I have no regrets, none. When this is in the past, most likely, you too will have no regrets, and until it is past we will be here to help, support, and encourage you. All my best. Lisa
