Just a short note to check in and say hi. I have come down with some sort of nasty flu virus or something. This virus seems to like me so much it just doesn’t want to leave.

Who am I?
I am a 61 year old male. At the age of 52 I was told by my doctor I am dying. For the past 4 years, I have done my best to deal with both congestive heart failure and a brain tumor, while knowing my days are indeed numbered. It is my hope that by sharing my experiences, I can encourage others faced with the same situation. I hope to also help the families of those individuals to have an understanding of the process and deal with the fear or dread of being around the dying. I am not a doctor, not a man of the clergy, I am not a therapist. I am just me, Bill Howdle, I am merely sharing my thoughts and ideas. I write of death and dying, understand this is my personal prospective, based on what I am encountering.Blog Stats

Hope you feel better soon.
Thank you Clary
Get well soon Bill. Hate those sort of bugs. These days they do like to hang around abit longer than we would like.
thank you Jo
Hi Bill, this is my first time on your blog and I just wanna say I understand what you’re going thru. I’ve been sick for over 6yrs with a disease dozens of doctors haven’t been able to diagnose. I’m bedridden and totally paralysed at this point, I’m sick and spend most of my time having attacks where I stop breathing completely. Sometimes over 15 times a day.
I admire the way you’re handling your situation, I wish you recovery. Our situations are different but I understand. I will encourage some people to check out your blog
Hello and welcome to the blog, it is nice to hear from you. I am so sorry to hear of your medical conditions and you are in my prayers as you are I am sure in the prayers of many.
In a small way I can relate to your breathing issues. So many just take breathing for granted, it is just something we do. I do wish you well and hope you will return to the blog and share with us many more times.
Bill
Dear Bill,
Let there be sunshine for you, Bill!
Thanks to everyone who wished me luck with the challenges I’m facing and those I’m getting ready to face. The prayers were especially appreciated. I love you all!
I’ve got some big worries coming in still, but I’m trying to stay standing and weather out the “storm”. When the going gets tough, the tough…Easier said than done.
Praying for your speedy recovery, Wiseman.
Irene
Hi Irene it is nice to hear from you. It is good to hear you are indeed being able to “weather out the storm”. YOU are a strong woman, hang in there. You remain in my heart and prayers as you do in the hearts and prayers of many others. Please keep in touch. I sent you an email after your previous post. Please feel free to email me anytime.
Bill
(((((((((((( irene ))))))))))))))) Keeping you in thought and prayer, ma’am.
