Just for being here-my go-to place to get through a craving or just keep up with friends. Today is 1 month for me because of Feb. having 28 days but I'll take what I can get. Thanks for the comments on my NML and patches blog. I am using patches pretty much as directed. I was a few days short of 21 mg. and I'll take an extra week of 14 mg. just because I have them. I'll decide if I'll take extra 7 mg. when the time comes but I do have 4 and 2 mg. lozenges for after patches just in case it gets really hairy. I don't really care for them so things would have to get pretty bad first but no matter what, I will not smoke.

Tomorrow is my pre-op visit for my cataract surgery next week. I can't wait until my vision improves. I guess I'll go through about 4 weeks of healing before I get my new glasses. The surgeon said I won't so much trouble with distance (I've always been nearstighted) but I'll definitely need reading glasses. So far whenever everyone else puts glasses on for close-up, I'm taking mine off so it will be a little different.

Anyway, that's where my life is at right now. I'm praying for our loved one's here that face so many more difficult challenges.

I'm 59 with severe COPD. I've decided I really want to live and I won't if I smoke. I have 4 grown boys, a grandson and granddaughter due on 9/10. Lots of reasons to live.
