Every Monday and Thursday I see the nurse at the surgeons office for my wound dressings to be changed. It's amazing to see how quickly it has been healing up over this past week. Still have pain but I grit my teeth and bear it as I don't want to be on my pain meds unless I'm about to scream. Still have such pain in my legs from swelling, its going down some, hopefully more soon.

   Ah, enough of that. I'm happy and content despite it all. I'm still pretty much on bedrest, and I'm rather enjoying the pampering. I'm still smoke free through it all and I'm so happy about that!! 104 days today. I honestly never thought I'd see that. But it has happened for me. Its happened for Jake as well. He quit smoking the day I got out of the hospital and says he's very happy for it, and so am I! Smoke free feels so good. For those of you just starting out, it's hard yes, but only as much as you make it be. When you continue on and on you will begin to feel that sense of accomplishment and see that going on, is so well worth it and does begin to feel fantastic to be free!!

   Have a great smoke free day!

Gone but Not Forgotten. RIP - they leave a legacy of their quit journeys behind as road maps for future members, to prevent the pitfalls, provide the tools and show the hope and possibilities for success at overcoming this addiction at any age at any stage. I am a 62 year old suffering with moderate COPD. I have relapsed several times from my quit, but I will keep trying till I get it right! "Your mind controls your quit but you control your mind. Don't let your emotions spoil your quit!" Don't allow a stumble to be the end of the journey. The difference between a good day and a bad day is attitude!
