Still around

Larry - Free and Healing for Nine Months, Two Days, 14 Hours and 39 Minutes, while extending my life expectancy 28 Days and 17 Hours, by avoiding the use of 8268 nicotine delivery devices that would have cost me $965.89.

I never thought I would see such beautiful words about myself. I am so thankful for the support and love I have received here.

I just finished restocking all the oasis this morning. I pray everyone's journey in NML is safe. I was so saddened to have to rescue those that slipped over the edge of the trail at Relapse Rocks. I left them with some bedoins that will nurse them back to health and help them back on their way.

My good friend Joan (The Old Goat) is off of the respirator. She is, and will always will be, on oxygen though. Her doctor can't determine why her breathing went into failure. She sends her love to everyone here. She also thanks everyone for the prayers on her behalf.

One step, and then another, will get you to where you want to be.

Larry the Caravan Master

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. TheOldGoat-Joan, I miss you terribly my friend. Elder Lists Guilia's: (/blogs/Giulia-blog/2017/06/18/elders-list-ao-december-7-2016 ) or Smorgy's (Chronological Elder List)
