Anxiety relieved!

Finally yesterday and today my anxiety has been relieved, last week was hell, because I was so worried about loosing hubby.  Finally on Sunday he was feeling better, and yesterday he had his pump connected for chelation therapy.  (It dispenses a strong medication to reduce the iron overload in his system from all the transfusions.  He went by himself yesterday and I had about 5 hours to myself which was bliss!  Last night he was even well enough to go out to dinner!

Now, I have to watch him for side affects from the medicine.  It's really potent medication, and could affect his vision and there are a whole host of other nasty ones.

I did go and see my therapist today, and talking to him helped too.  My quit is going well today.  I feel happy and positive and I dressed up nicely today in a new outfit I was waiting to wear, and it feels like such a treat!

I am so greatful for my EX family and letting me blog about this.  

As Terrie says I won' t quit on my Quit!!

I'm a widow now, my husband passed away January 1, 2018 He died of COPD, and pre leukemia and the flu. He quit smoking 15 years ago which gave him extra time. I am a mother, and grandmother. I have smoked for 47 years. I am going to have my forever quit and I'm doing it for me and my two daughters so I can live longer and be with them. I like to read, swim, garden, crochet, paint and doodle. I also enjoy walking and visiting with friends and family. I am 100% making this my last quit. I have been in denial about what smoking has done to me and my kids. I must make a new life for myself and it doesn't include cigarettes. I may already have COPD, but have not been officially diagnosed.
