[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 85846, member: 1991"] Great to hear from you, Esther. Congratulations on your son getting married - very good new. Not so good news about the carotid - I hope you aren't expected to do too much for the wedding, or you probably should consider having it done beforehand. You should be well recovered in four months. I haven't been to Israel, but I have been to Greece - if they smoke in Israel even half as much as they do in Greece I can understand why you have trouble cutting down. It's very hard to give them up when everyone around you and wherever you go, is smoking. It's easier to quit smoking in Australia when we are flooded with TV advertising and various government programs, all designed to help people stop smoking. We also have doctors here who will refuse to operate for stents, open heart surgery, bypass, that sort of thing, if you are still smoking heavily. A woman I know has been refused surgery on her knee because the doctor says she has to quit smoking first. All you can do, is the best you can. Stay well. Enjoy the celebration. And I hope your daughter in law turns out to be beautiful, dutiful, loving and generous. If she's marrying your former difficult child, she probably is all that and more. Marg [/QUOTE]
