Charlie e-mailed me just now !!
Well aren't you special ? I read each and every post. I'm overwhelmed by the expressions of love and care. I feel like shit of course, but life is grand and I am home now for the last half hour. I am tired and need some rest for a bit. The Nurses did not want me to leave and threatened to lie to my Dr. to keep me. LOL I threatened to walk out and they got the big guys to hold me down. hehe I was saved by a young and gorgeous Romanian Dr Ruth. She brought my release papers and the nurses were chased away weeping. LOL :p
I did not have a heart attack, it was my 4th congestive heart failure. It just kind of snuck up on me and then hit me like a ton of bricks. My Dr thought I might have a blood clot in my lungs and all the tests were negative for any blockages. He forgot I have a tumor in my lung, a swollen lymph node since my cancer is now active again. I also have Atrial Fibrillation and the blood does not circulate through my heart properly which adds to the congestion and such as sometimes I don't get enough oxygen. That is why I have the defibrillator/pacemaker. So I am OK and will recuperate slowly and be back on HP shortly. I am just overwhelmed with emails, but it is so moving to be so loved. I shall answer each and every one. I am still banned from the forums, so you can let everyone there know what I am doing now. Resting. Thank you dear for posting my circumstances on the forum. See ya later darlin', your friend Charlie Campbell, Much love to you and the others as well. xox

Charlie called me this morning, and he asked me to send his love to fellow hubbers. It was great to hear his voice! He's such a great guy - it's no wonder he's so well liked here. My phone was being worked on at the time, and we got cut off before we could finish our conversation. He seems to be...

I must state first that I have never met Charlie aka CC aka Ralwus. I have never been to the Americas, never actually spoken to him or heard his voice. I met Charlie through Hubpages. In the spirit of this supportive community, Charlie was one of the first Hubbers to buy my book,...

My dearest bud CC Riter aka Ralwus has not been on because of a very tragic death in his family. I am posting this thread to let everyone know he is okay, not to worry. Although his heart is broken. I am sure that those of us who care for him as much as I do will want to send him our dearest...

I just took the time to read a hub by a new hubber, Let the Walls Fall Down. Please, if you can take the time to read this. It is very poignant and very well told. It is long, but do try to read through it all. I am so thrilled to have met this woman with her story. It may make you weep, so...
