The best gift I got for the Holidays (I'm not Christian) was on New Years Day 3 years ago, I got released from 6 months in a step down facility after rehabbing from a respiratory failure into a new apartment, after having to live out of hotels before I went into the Hospital.
It's been a slow recovery with some set backs, but I have made progress and the last few months , have been tough.
I just wish as a gift to have my body finish quickly with the last bit of healing. Which will get me freedom to go around without portable oxygen.... It's close and going to happan....
Fingers crossed so I can then start doing some sports and other more aerobic activities again!
No Prayers needed here...
Just like to hear others stories of overcoming problems...
It inspires me!
I truly believe that what doesn't kills us makes stronger, even when there is a lot of pain.
Health is something most of us get to take for granted, but the second you don't have it you realize how important it is.
I'm not a religious person in the least, but the spirit of xmas and giving without expectation of anything in return I get behind. The full on religious or commercialized BS that happens...no so much. The "gift exchanges" with a dollar tag where everyone gives their list of items they want suck and I refuse to take part. Nor do I go to church with the family, but rather stay home and cook the meal. But picking out something special for people you care about is a great reason to act Christian for a few days...lol.
Wish you the best of luck with your recovery in 2019. May it be the year you ditch your oxygen tank and get back to being more active!
Very wise words @thedarkhorse
Most people seem to "wake up" to late to realize how health is one, and it's easy to lose it and so hard to get back.
Hope you will have a great Xmas buddy

We are just done with our 3rd day of xmas with our families. 2 more to go, which will make 5 straight days. After that we have a couple friend christmas parties after xmas. This is a crazy busy couple weeks for us, but totally worth it.
