A Common Topic of Conversation: Sue’s Good Health!


I just returned from 10 days in the South of France.  Sue and the kids came along for a short vacation on the front end of a conference trip.  They left halfway through and then I stayed on for a 3-day hike in the French Alps.  But this post isn’t about any of that … at least, not directly.

The post is about a common topic of conversation during the trip, Sue’s good health!  All of my conference buddies have met Sue over the years and they know about her lung condition.  And one way or another it came up in conversations that Sue has had a remarkable string of good health, lungs wise.  Here’s one way I illustrated it:  I haven’t heard Sue cough in months, which, considering I used to hear her cough every single day, is quite remarkable.  And here’s another:  she’s off all her maintenance medications … some of which she’s been on for 10 years continuously!

And this post isn’t to explain why (we have theories, but of course, don’t know for sure).  So, the post is really just to stop and give thanks … so, thanks for giving Sue good health!  And knock on wood it continues!

  1. I was actually thinking of that same thing a post or 2 ago when I thought of all the positive things about the trip that you have experienced. I mean, I know sitting in a hosp on a couple of occasions wasn't any fun but in the long run, it really seems to have helped pave the road for long term benefits for Sue. Like you said, you just have to hope and pray that it continues once you home and continue to seek answers on those therories.
