One little unexpected side effect of all this - Marilyn's given up smoking!!! It's not the cure I'd recommend, but heck, it's worked. 100%. She hasn't had a cigarette since the middle of August (the first time she went in Hospital) and says she has no desire to ever smoke again. After smoking at least 20 a day for 40 years!!!!

So - now I've got to quit. T'ain't fair if one partner smokes, the other doesn't. I promised last weekend I'd quit as soon as I finished the tobacco I'd got left....and that moment is nearly here. Got enough for about 2-3 roll-ups, then that's it. And all the shops are shut! Oh well....wish ME luck! Tried before, with some success, but always failed ultimately...this time I'm serious.

Goodbye cigarettes, goodbye cough, goodbye phlegm, goodbye to all that.....

:D :D :D

Vic I have a friend who was T-boned in his truck by a drunk driver. He spent several weeks in the hospital on oxygen. When he got out, he no longer had the desire to smoke, either. There's something about being on pure oxygen for a while that takes away the craving.

Great news about Marilyn, Vic! And best of luck on the smoking cessation. I never smoked, but know many who do and have quit with varying degrees of success. To echo Nuno "You can do it!"

You know, one day you will cross your arms and say <>-it, and the will power becomes bullheadedness.

I had Chantix on my side, too, btw, but many millions have quit long before that came around.

Best of luck dude!

Vic, don't smoke it all up and be out.

Leave some there so you can practice your will power. Seriously, if it's not in the house you'll want it more.

If it is, you choose when and how to consume it.

Good luck man. You know we are 100% behind you.

And that is fantastic for Marilyn.

Vic,

It sounds like Marilyn is making leaps and bounds on improvements.

I'm glad to hear she's rocketing back up.

Thanks for the updates.
