  First and foremost, I want to thank everyone for their good thoughts for my health during this round of tests and hospital stays. I appreciate them greatly.

  Last night my group came upon a camp of some of Ol' Nic's helpers.
  We snuck into the camp and captured all of them.
  We took them far out into the desert.
  I found an emergency water dig that was full of brackish water. We couldn't drink any, but it was fine for the camels.
  After the camels had their fill, I had the captives thrown in for a good soaking. We kept pushing them under the surface so they would get thouroghly  saturated.
  We then took the ones that survived far into the wastes of the desert where there is no sustinance at all.
  When the sun came up, we left them there to figure out how to get out of the wastes. 
  Just to make sure they were lost, we left in the opposite direction of the trail out and rode in random patterns for several hours, crossing over our tracks many, many times.
  I think this 20 of Nic's boys are gone for good now.
  We are continuing back to the trailhead at the entrance to NML to restock supplies and deliver fresh camels.
  Safe travels out there, and keep your guard up against Nic and his "boys".
  One step, and then another, will get you to where you want to be.

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.
