[QUOTE="Estherfromjerusalem, post: 700144, member: 77"] Oh Wow! I just came back to the Board to see -- and there are all these wonderful encouraging posts from all of you. Thank you so much! You make me feel so good. Truth to tell, I am a teeny bit miserable without cigarettes. No, don't worry, it doesn't make me want to have one. When I look back on it, I suppose I am really lucky to still be alive. Do you know how I discovered that the carotid (first one) was blocked? I had a load of mini-strokes which affected my sight and the way I used my hands -- couldn't use them properly. When it affected my typing at work, I took myself along to the doctor and said I thought I was in the middle of a stroke -- and he said don't be so ridiculous and sent me away. A few days later while I was chatting with my best girlfriend, sudden the words that came out of my mouth were gobbledegook -- and I asked her to take me in her car to the emergency room of the nearest hospital, and sure enough, I was having a series of mini-strokes! Oh boy! So, since I have so many children and grandchildren and even two great grandchildren, I am lucky to be alive and here to enjoy them. And maybe if I live to be 85 or 90 I might then go back to smoking, when it won't make any difference in any case!!!! But I probably won't want to smoke then. Thanks you al [/QUOTE]
