I'm Back

1 13 102

I need to rest the remainder of the day. They put me fully under and intubate me because of my sleep apnea and I'm allergic to Succ's so what they give me takes longer to come out of.

I made and had a cup of my instant mashed potato and deviled ham gruel. (semi-liquid diet) Having a small cup of flan.

Here's the good news.

My doctor said my case is their most successful case at UC San Diego Medical Centers ever.

I still have to go back a couple more times but originally HE WANTED TO CUT OUT MY ESOPHAGUS.

Thank you for your thoughts and well wishes earlier this morning. 🙂

Relaxing muscles during surgery or when using a breathing machine (ventilator). It is also used to induce anesthesia or when a tube must be inserted in the windpipe. It may also be used for other conditions as determined by your doctor. Succinylcholine is a depolarizing muscle relaxant. (It paralyzes you so you can't move while they insert the breathing tube.)

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.
