I lostmany of my best friends, and some of the ones i really Loved, but i never forget what i did because i though they were better off with out me in there lives.i would have panic attacks whare i could not Drive ,talk and actually felt i was having a heart a attack, so i never even showed up for affars i was envited to.andwood not have to even let know what really was happening to me.The time came where i just moved away, and never had any close friends for the past 48 years. it was my wife and my chiland .i am a care giver to my Son in a nurseing home and wife at home ,she had several mini strokes and she needs constant care unable to walk ,lost her short term memory ,and effected her eye sight.MY son Alanwas exposed to darbon Monoxide in his own HOME from exost leak.But the Doctors figure out what his problem was all three that he went to.
