Sounds like you are right on top of things but it truly does take awhile for the truth to sink in. I've never spent much time on "why me" either, but then I did smoke. There is so much more beyond "why me", and this is an AWESOME place to post all your questions and thoughts and fears.
Are you out of hospital already?? At any rate, look forward to hearing more from you.
