I'm finally getting my scope done this morning, it was supposed to be last Monday but an emergency came up so I was rescheduled until today. No coffee or anything and I don't even have to be at the hospital until 11 am and they're not doing the scope until 12:30, I had a hard time getting to sleep last night I was thinking about when I quit drinking over 4 yrs ago and how many times that I half heartily tried to quit and after a few days or maybe even a couple of weeks I'd be drinking again. It wasn't until I had my alcohol induced heart attack that I finally realized the severity of continuing to drink, so here I am all these years later a happy reformed alcoholic. I worried about my husbands health with 2 sets of Xrays and then a cat scan on his lungs, it concerned him too after smoking 42 yrs he was done a month when he saw his Dr and got the results of his cat scan he had the beginning of emphysema on this coming Saturday my husband will be celebrating his 1 year milestone. I continued to smoke 2 and a half months longer than my husband which was probably a good thing because maybe we might have killed each other. Most of you know my story but I thought I was fine until a specialist listened to my lungs and set up a breathing test which I flunked and found out that I have copd, I was surprised because my xrays were fine anyway here I am on my 281 St day of my quit. I layed awake last night thinking how strange I am it takes me being scared for my health before I brightened up but at least I did and I hope in time so I can enjoy some quality of living. Protect your quits everyone and enjoy this beautiful day.
