Nancy Called About 10pm EST Last Night (UPDATE)

She was in recovery.

The surgery is done. I asked if they pinned it or if they had to replace the joint.

They used screws and plates.

You all know that if you still smoke bones do not heal well, right? (I know this first hand. I pay the price for smoking throughout a healing process every day)

I am thankful Nancy does not smoke.

(Her daughter sent me an email a couple hours later saying the surgery was done and Nancy was in a room.)

More when I know more.

About the Author

Hello, My name is Dale. I was quit 18 months before joining this site and had participated on another site during that time. I learned a lot there and brought it with me. I joined this site the first week of August 2008. I didn't pressure myself to quit. HOW I QUIT I didn't count, I didn't deny myself to get started. When I considered quitting (at a friends request to influence his brother to quit), I simply told myself to wait a little longer. No denial, nothing painful. After 4 weeks I was down to 5 cigarettes from a pack a day. The strength came from proving to myself, I didn't need to smoke because I normally would have smoked. Simple yes? I bought the patch. I forgot to put one on on the 4th day. I needed it the next day but the following week I forgot two days in a row I put one in my wallet with a promise to myself that I would slap it on and wait an hour rather than smoke. It rode in my wallet my first year.There's nothing keeping any of you from doing this. It doesn't cost a dime. This is about unlearning something you've done for a long time. The nicotine isn't the hard part. Disconnecting from the psychological pull, the memories and connected emotions is. :-) Time is the healer.
