6 months to go

Today I mark 6 months of no smoking, and no nicotine. I'm feeling pretty good about that but not so much the 25 pounds I've also gained. I'm happy to report, though, I seem to have finally conquered my sunflower seed addiction, and the hand to mouth activity has lessened significantly. Five pounds of the 25 gained are now history, hopefully forever.  Today I see the THIRD hip surgeon about getting two hip replacements. I have a blood clotting condition which totally frightens surgeons and they like to send me away. I hear the guy I'm seeing today is brave about things like that and I am hoping being cigarette free for 6 months will work in my favor as well.

So, as promised in my last blog - I've got 6 months down. I'm going to do the 6 months again. At that point I am going to declare myself as quitting smoking! It should be pretty easy at that point 😉

N.O.P.E.

Do you have a university  hospital near you - there are ones that specialize in orthopaedics?  I would look for someone there - even if you have to travel a bit.

Congrats on 6 months!  That is AWESOME!

Good job!  Six months is quite an accomplishment.  You will be entering the door to the 6% club before you know it!!!     CP 454

Thanks, all of you! I'm sorry, I accidently deleted someone's post in here and feel terrible about it. I sure wish this were set up more like Facebook, where you can reply immediately before you lose track of who you are answering. Sigh...such a learning curve for me...
