« December Charles Ι Billye February » Charles' Story as told by Charles
Our dear friend Charles passed away on March 1, 2006. He will be missed tremendously by all his Cacfriends and Shareacard friends. Our deepest sympathies to Jo Ann and the family.
My name is Charles I am 65 years old and I am married
to a wonderful wife Jo Ann for the last 45 years. I
retired from the U.S. Navy in 1975 and then had to retire
from the U.S. government after 18 years due to medical
reasons. I have had COPD for about 12 years now. The
diabetes came on due to the medication I have to take for
COPD. I have to take 20 mg of prednisone a day and I take
inhaled steroids. I use a neblizer ever 4 hour for my
breathing. I am on 4 liters of oxygen 24 hours a day. I
had be going to the hospital every three months, but due
to prayer and good care from my wife, I have not been to
the hospital since April 2000. The doctor told by wife to
keep doing what ever she is doing for it is working. I
have been written off twice, but I showed them what prayer
can do and came home. My life consists of the computer,
the groups I belong to and all the friend I have met
through the computer.
Charles served during the Korean and VietNam War and is a Veteran. He joined the Navy in July 1954 and retired December 1974.

I
have really enjoyed the ShareaCard group, believe one card
at a time means a lot to someone terminally ill and it
make me feel good to know it can put a smile on their
face. It does depress me when we lose someone. At the
present time I have lost the of my bladder. This happened
the day after Thanksgiving. I have had a catheter inserted
three time since then. They have decided to leave it in
until at the first of the year. They think the bladder has
lost is ability to release the liquid due my diseases.
They cannot put me to sleep for anything that is one of
the problems. I have had both eye correct for cataracts. I
take approx 40 pill a day and they added two more for this
problem which are proscar and flowmax. I also use a CPAP
at night with oxygen. I have two grown sons and five
grandchildren.
