Morning everyone

6 Days 7 Hours 20 Minutes since I last smoked, I feel pretty good. Cravings are getting less, I still get them just not as bad as the first couple of days when I had quit smoking. I have changed my daily routine around so I don't fall back into that pit.
 I am worried though. For about the past two months, I have been having some medical issues, nothing serious, but everytime they did my blood, they say my white blood cell count was high. So, I went to my doctor last Friday, he did chest xrays and said you have pneumonia in my right lung, need to quit smoking for aleast two weeks (I've decided I just needed to quit altogether, not just two weeks) Well, Tuesday the nurse from the doctors office called and informs me that it is not pneumonia, so why is my white blood cell so high? I have to go back to the doctor next Friday to see if my white blood cell count has gone down any since I've quit smoking, and if not, I have to go see a hematologist...I am really hoping and praying that it is nothing to worry about...
