Seeing Red !!!!!!

I was just sitting here reading blogs to catch up when some IDIOT saw what site I was on. They noticed that I breath heavily due to the COPD. After asking about my difficulties and hearing my story, he had only one comment that he just had to make!!!!

Would you believe this JACKASS told me that since my lungs are obviously shot, that I should just smoke like hell and just enjoy the little time I have left????

If I had been close to my home (and tomahawk) this person would now be headed to his ancestors without his scalp!!!!!

I am not a violent person usually, but after everything that has happened over the last 14 months, I don't think I have to put up with someone practicing "quack medicine".

To say I am a little mad is like saying Noah went through a little sprinkle.

I AM MAJORLY PISSED RIGHT NOW !!!!!!!!

I am glad I was here so I could vent the anger instead of killing that IDIOT though. Thank you all for the help and support since I joined the family.

Great Spirit be with you all.

Larry

I am sorry you had to be subjected to that fool, Larry.  It might help you to think how nice it is that you are not that utterly devoid of a thinking brain?  OK - maybe not!

Take care.  The best thing is that you aren't smoking over it!!!

P.S.I LOVE the "sucked out your brains" comment.  Just LOVE it!

He was just an unworthy man whoe's ego told him say something and unfortunately it was a thoughtless statement made to inflict pain on someone who he felt was less superior than himself.

However I am pleased you wrote to us because we understand what you have went through.

Congrats Larry on going through the "Stupid People Test" (some who have went for a smoke)--Keep on adding those smoke free days.

XOXO

I'm guessing this person must have been a smoker if he thinks continueing to smoke is enjoyable.  Anybody that has quit smoking knows there is no joy to smoking.  You keep fighting the good fight!  Onward we all go on our journey.  NOPE!

That is the most stupid remark ever.  He wins the dumbness award.

Keep rocking your quit.

Oh great caravan master, so sorry you are pissed.  I was just reading in an old nursing text book of mine about the lungs.  God gave us 3 times as much lung tissue as is needed for life.  What a loving God and hope for us COPDers. (Nursing name for people with COPD.)  Hope you get better and better.   Barbara

What this person obviously does not know is that good lungs or bad.................................

Tomorrow is promised to no one. 

The only thing we have is today....now. And "now" is so much better when you are not smoking.

Stay Strong. Enjoy NOW.

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.
