I haven't blogged in a while so I feel I'm due. I've been watching the blogs from all the newbies and I now feel like an elder. LOL I remember all those things they are going through. They seem so far away in my memory. I no longer have to be watching for the nicodemon contantly. I do on occation get that grrrrr anxiety feeling but breathing and remembering that smoking will NOT IN ANYWAY change the circumstances really really helps.
My smoking mother in law is still living with us. Looks like she's not going back to Alabama this winter but instead looking to move back to Ohio. My youngest smoking daughter who is 20 is still living with us. She is 17 weeks pregnant now and we get to have an ultrasound and possibly find out the sex a week from tomorrow (on Aug. 1st) She is due New Years Day. This will be my 6th grandchild. Gawd!!!! I'm only 46 yrs old.
I have been having some problems lately so I'm due back to the dr this thursday for another colonoscopy and hopefully I don't have to have any more of my colon removed like last year. Last week I got my CT scan back and I have a hernia in my stomach and cysts on my kidneys. So a week from Wed. on Aug. 3 I have to have surgery to remove the hernia.
I am still delivering pizza's in the evening although the heat has been playing a tune on my asthma. My school that I work at starts back up on Aug 24th so I have to get all this done and be back to work when the school opens back up. My husband and I also have a very much needed weekend trip to Houston Woods in Aug. and I'm not cancelling that. We need to get away.
After all this I'm proud to say I haven't even thought of a cigarette. Life can be a challenge but smoking is not the answer, it only make matters worse and slows down life in more than one way. Last year when I had surgery I remember having to stop smoking the night before and then no smoking the day of the surgery. I don't have to worry about that anymore. And worry is exactly what a smoker does when they are told not to smoke. I really have been blessed with this site and will forever be grateful for all of my Online Angels Old and New.
Love you all bunches,
Kelly
