The Plumber

OldBones-Larry
9 6 80

There was a family that live way out in the country.

They depended on a well for their water needs.

The water began flowing slower and slower.

They thought maybe the well was getting low as there had been very little rain for a while.

This had never happened before though.

They decided that they needed to call a plumber after they looked and the well had plenty of water in it.

The plumber checked their system and discovered that the piping was clogged severely.

The family told him to go ahead and fix the problem.

Pipes were replaced, but the flow was still not as good as before.

Further checking revealed that the pump had some damage from having to work so hard to deliver the water.

The plumber worked on it and fixed it as best he could.

Water flow improved, but would never be as good as before.

Your body I like that house and well.

Smoking can damage your pipes and the pump will sustain damage as well from having to work harder.

My “plumber” worked hard and repaired things as much as he could.

Please quit smoking now before you need a major plumbing job yourself.

About the Author
I am a male that underwent coronary artery bypass X3 (triple) on 10/22/13 at the age of 55. I was living on about 20-30% of one coronary artery and my left heart output was only 20% to 25%. I spent a week in the hospital after surgery and went home. Then had to go back a day later for another week because I had pneumonia. Finally a few days because of a slight arythmia. All told it has been about 2 1/2 weeks. I am past the cravings by now and only have the urges to contend with. I really don't suggest that anyone quits smoking using this technique though. I'll have to carry the scars from that day for the rest of my life. The large one down the center of my chest, and the ones from several "silent" infarctions. I came that close to the next world. Never again will I subject my body to that (at one point in my life I was smoking 5 packs of cigarillos a day). I now have to say N.O.P.E. (Not One Puff Ever) every day of my life.
