So I am finally 87 days smoke free - yeah. I have made numerous attempts to quit in the 35 years of being a smoker. I was diagnosed with COPD a few years ago and still continued to smoke. It wasn't until recently that it finally hit me... I need to stop smoking. Why am I still smoking? It took a long time, but I finally get it and I am done with cigarettes.
So all in all, everything was going well. I am eating better, excercising, not smoking and BOOM! I fell taking my dog out and fractured my pelvic bone 4 weeks ago. It was more painful than giving birth! They kept asking me in the ER to rate my pain from 0-10... it was a 15!! Anyway, when they sent me back for a chest xray, they found a spot on my right lung. So... I am going to the hospital tomorrow to have a biopysy done on my lung. The doctor told me that this fall was a blessing in disguise. I would've never known that I had something wrong if I hadn't been at the hospital.
Please say a prayer for me. Wish I could start over and NEVER have picked up a cigarette as a curious teenager in school. Damn my high school for having a smoking alley in the late 70's so that us "kids" could catch a smoke between classes!
Thanks all!
