Up To Speed Revisited

First, you will all be glad to know I have not, nor will I, smoked. It isn't worth the heartache to me to do that. I have worked too D^%*$d hard to get to where I am!

I trust doc to know what he is doind. Besides, I have an appt. with my surgeon next week. Will see what he thinks, as he is watching these lung masses also.

I really hope that my posts do help someone. If one person is helped, then I have done what Great Spirit put me here for.

As to that C word, I have been flirting with that for over 6 months. Lung and liver. Both have been suspect during that time.

I want everyone here to know how much I do love and cherish them. I would have fallen by the wayside several times without my family here.

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.
