First time in hospital

Editor:

Shout out to Cedar County Memorial Hospital.

As many of you know I was hospitalized last weekend. After working all week with what I thought was a cold, I was hospitalized with a 103.7 temperature, tested positive for influenza B, double pneumonia and a low oxygen level.

I had never had a need to be hospitalized before but was so very thankful for a local hospital that could take care of my needs and put me on the road to recovery. My family and I talked about what a privilege it is to have a local hospital where I could rest and my family could run up to check on me or bring me things.

Thank you to those that visited me, Union Hall Baptist Church for the flowers and many prayer warriors that were near and far.

I hope you never need the hospital but what peace of mind it brings to have those services available if you do. I am not sure what price tag you can put on saving a life?????

Please Vote YES on April 7 to support our local hospital – we need it.
