Back from ER

Oh holy cow over 6 hours in ER and I am finally home.  Not the way I intended to spend my Saturday night. Haha @ Pops I am Leo and wanted to roar when they stuck that darn needle in my hand.  Yup Nancy you guessed had to have tetanus shot just because and I didn’t know when I had the last one was.  I still had some glass in my hand so they had to dig it out.  They had to keep numbing me as I kept feeling it.  Just love when they tell you to be still while they are digging a hole.  Grr let me did a hole and see if you sit still.  Well ended up with 8 stitches, which I didn’t think it looked that bad.  Then they tell me not to get my right hand wet (which mind you I am very right handed).  What sucks is we are going on a short vacation which included swimming.  AGH!! That was one hell of a distraction for the crave I was having.  Well guess as the saying goes I won’t smoke over it as smoking will only slow down my healing and make things worse.  On the good note my hand is real numb at the moment so not feeling the pain. Will say ER can be somewhat entertaining on a Saturday night. Lol  Wanted to update and thanks for thinking of me.

Hi! My name is Sharon and I am married, a mom to 5 kids and also have 2 fur babies that are both shelties and considered my kids. I have smoked for about 30 years. I came here to learn how to quit and stay quit. I need to quit to impove my health and was tired of nicotine controlling me and Doctors and family nagging me. I was sick and tired of being sick and tired. Now that I have joined in the EX family I now have been free of nicotine since May 13th 2016.
