Pneumonia and induced comas

Hi folks,

So I know it's been a while since I last updated, but that's because I came down with a terrible case of pneumonia and have been hospitalized for the last few weeks.  At this age, an illness like that really gets the best of you!  Luckily now I am feeling better and steadily regaining strength and energy.  I am back home and on my feet again, and ready to solve the mystery of my missing Tootsie with all my might.

The doctors said that all the stress of losing my poor pomeranian seemed to have weakened my immune system and made my susceptible to pneumonia.  For a while I was in an induced state of sedation with a respirator doing all of my breathing.  It's amazing how technology has evolved in the medical field over my lifetime.  Once I was awake, my family was very supportive.  Rebecca came to visit me everyday to check in and see how I was doing.  Danny even stopped by once or twice.  That was very thoughtful of the him, however I found it to be quite rude that he laughed told him what happened to Tootsie.

Well, now that I'm home again I guess ill check in with my friends in the blogosphere and leave some comments.  I don't have the energy to do much else, so I'll look around the internet to see if I can't find any clues as to Tootsie's whereabouts.
