    Hi, to All of My Wonderful Followers,
    First of all, I offer ALL of you a heart-felt apology for not being able to get around to read everything that you all have written. For this, I am truly sorry.
    Not only do I have to endure the chronic pain 24/7 from Fibromyalgia, but Neurothopy and all I can do is treat the symptoms due to both being incurable. But since fall is turning to winter, these diseases only grow worse.
    But in mid-October, I had to be admitted to a hospital in Tupelo, Miss., for congestive heart failure and within an hour, I would have died, but I am not writing this to get your pity.
    I just want to take this moment to tell ALL of You Wonderful Followers, from the newest to the first, just how much I cherish you and your friendship and talents.
    I also want to take this moment to wish ALL of You and Your Families A Very Merry Christmas and a Prosperous, Happy 2016.
    Thanks to ALL of you once again for not leaving my hub action. I promise that when I get on my feet again, I will produce more hubs for your entertainment and drama.
    Love,
    Kenneth Avery

      Best wishes to you, Kenneth. I am among the many who have often enjoyed your good humor (not the ice cream bar) and are thinking good thoughts. Hope you can maintain the laughter despite your pain and use it as a therapy to carry you through the tough times. You have a lot of people pulling for you.

            Dearest Jean,
            Sweetie, I am not dead. LOL. I have to just recover from a heart cath, what they called it, to survey my heart for blockages and thank God, there were none. Just 57 pounds, that's right, pounds of fluid. I weighed 345 when I went to the hospital and now I weigh 260 and am going for 180. Pray for  me and I will be thinking of you and I do wish you and yours a Very Merry Christmas!
            Love you.

      Dearest Kenneth,

      I'm so very sorry to hear about your recent hospitalization for congestive heart failure and your serious chronic health challenges. You have always impressed me as a wonderful, kind, funny and authentic person, and my appreciation of and admiration for you has only increased on learning that your upbeat attitude co-exists with, and triumphs over, severe chronic pain.

      My thoughts and prayers are with you, my friend. Sending love, light, and loads of positive and healing energy your way, along with my warmest wishes to you and your loved ones for a very merry Christmas and a joyous, productive and prosperous 2016.

      Hello Kenneth how are you comming along ?
      I am happy to see you write here again. I pray your recovery is doing good and that your family hold up under the pain of your pain.
      I just about can visually see your position and adjusting again is not easy. I hope your family knows how valuble you are to many as me number one. I send my prayers and love to your family. May Jehovah keep you close.

        Dear KissandTales,
        I am slowly recovering, eating only what the doctors tell me to eat, not getting excited (to overwork my heart) and doing what I can to get back to living again. The week I spent in (a) hospital was enough terror for me. I won't elaborate due to it all being dark and negative, but thank God, I am living.
        I appreciate so much, our friendship and the comments you have left on my hubs and now this one really makes my day.
        God bless you. Merry Christmas and please keep in touch.
        Love you.

    Thank you Kenneth for taking the time to post this message. I wish you a very Merry Christmas as well and hope you are feeling much better in the new year. If you are feeling well enough to read just one of my hubs you may like the one I just wrote for this Christmas period "Have a Very Merry Giftmas". My wife suffers from fibromyalgia so I am well aware of how debilitating that can be on its own without other health problems to worry about. Take care my friend.

    Everyone who is born holds dual citizenship, in the kingdom of the well and in the kingdom of the sick.  Although we all prefer to use only the good passport, sooner or later each of us is obliged, at least for a spell, to identify ourselves as citizens of that other place.  Thanks for thinking about me and all your friends I know what you are going through I am also handicapped.
