Take what I need and LEAVE

[JonesCarpeDiem]

I'm really sorry about everyone's problems.

I'm sure glad I don't have any.

Well, except for this failed surgery I had two weeks ago. And the other 20 that are too personal to list

I have good and bad news (Good news for those who have quit smoking, bad news for those who haven't)

the smoking cure does not work

[ladybug49]

I am sorry you are having health issues Hope you get better soon

[Michwoman]

So sorry to hear about the surgery failing Dale 😞   Are they going to do it over now?

[cyn9]

I'm sorry Dale. I didn';t hear about your surgery 2 wks ago. I pray they can fix this and for your recovery. Sure glad your here!

[jojo_2-24-11]

[newlife5]

failed surgery?...now what... do you have to go under the knife again?... prayers are going up for you  take care

[MisFitz]

I hope you feel better soon Dale!!

[barbara42]

why is the surgery considered a fail ? I an sorry for your health issues, I know about those, not yours of corse but I seem to be falling apart the older i get, if you are like me, you worry about the insurance going up and goodness knows, it is high enough, but we wear loose socks and do not smoke over any of it, hope you get better soon, what is going to be next ?

[Mike.n.Atlanta]

@ Dale - Hope things gets better for ya. Gettin old ain't for wussies.

@ everyone else - I think Dale's point is not to gather sympathy but that no matter our trials & tribulations...smoking will do nothing to improve our lot.

KOKO,

Continued prayers for your health and happiness!

[Patty-cake]

I'm sorry your surgery didn't work. I also will say prayers for your healing.

And yes, folks, there is no valid reason to smoke, only excuses, and those aren't valid excuses either.

[jensteff]

 I agree. Sending positive, healing thoughts to you.

[Ex_Nancy]

Cheer up Dale!  (((((hugz))))) 

[Nyima_1.6.13]

Ex Nancy seems to know what will cure ya' and we all know smoking won't!

Really sorry to hear the surgery wasn't a success..what's next!?!

[Giulia]

No, the smoking cure doesn't work.  But I sure hope you find one that does for your latest.... 

[phyllis-12-7-15]

Sorry Dale. Maybe a consultation with Dr Spock? ; )

Truly hope they get you fixed up right.

[debr]

Dale:  First, I pray they can do something to rectify the failed surgery.  I believe in never stop searching for the right doctor, surgeon, etc.  Secondly, even though I am one of those F--- Ups, I totally agree that smoking doesn't do a damn positive thing for anyone.

[freeneasy]

Wish you well man! Miss Hoggie too! You are one of the main reasons why I am still smoke free.

[anniexhx]

i try to follow you advice all the time that is why im still smoke free and so sad that u have gone hope you come back soon x

[wishingstar]

Dale I am truly sorry, that surgery did not work for you. Harder to say then do, Keep the faith ...I'm with Deb on this ....find the right doctor , get a second opinion if possible.

I like your cool no BS aproch and will miss it.

Renee 11 days. 

[Linda239]

Dale, I am sorry your surgery did not work.  You are so right, we all have problems, some are worse than others, but the one common denomiator is that Smoking Does Not Fix Anything.  Thank you so much for your straight forward approach to things.  I am still smoke free thanks to you.  

Day 190 and still not smoking!

[Strudel]

Dale - Please feel better soon....prayers continue. 

[Legend]

I hope your doctor can fix what has gone wrong or send you to someone that can help you. I did say a prayer for you and will continue to keep you in my prayers.  I think everyone will understand that you need rest right now. I hope you are better soon.  

[luisdeleon619]

feel better, Dale.

[southie]

Oh goodness, Dale. That is bad news.

Sometimes our bodies just want to be a certain way and we have to tell them more than once, "no, that's not right".

I hope things work out for you.
