My brother in NC had to be taken to the hospital for difficulty breathing last week
while I was in Holland. Diagnosis was pneumonia and acute renal failure. He is now on
oxygen full time. Don't know if he'll be able to get off of it once the pneumonia is
cleared up. Will ride down today to spend the weekend with him.

FWIW, once diagnosed with lung cancer, he stopped smoking, only to start with the
e-cigarettes. Doctor said those were not at all good for him.


I'm sorry to hear that.

Have you had your pneumonia shot?


Actually had two of them, the old and the new. I've had pneumonia twice, both times
when I was smoking. Since I stopped I've not had a problem.
