[QUOTE="LittleDudesMom, post: 605498, member: 805"] [FONT=comic sans ms][SIZE=3]Gottcha! *Janet, last August when I had my emergency surgery I was in the hospital for a week. On day 4 I told easy child, who is a smoker, that I was going to quit. Three reasons - first they give you that incentive tube thing with the little blue ball to breath into to ensure you don't get fluid build-up, etc. after surgery. As a smoker, it was tough to do. I was so afraid that I would have to stay longer or develop [/SIZE][/FONT][FONT=comic sans ms][SIZE=3]pneumonia. Second, the other thing was also with a huge abdominal scar (from a couple inches above my navel to almost down to the pubic area), coughing was something that scared me to death. And finally, I figured I would experience the worst of the cravings while I was in the hospital so why pick back up when I got out.... And I stuck with it. I do have an electric cig I used at the beginning - but I have not wanted to pick up a cig since then. I felt so much better within 30 days that I will never pick one up again. No more mucous in the morning, no more colds that are intensified because of my lung condition, no more wheezing when the weather gets cold, etc. When I went into surgery, one of the things that scared me death was that I was a smoker and I know that smoking would affect me when I was under. I have never been so happy to open my eyes!!!!!!!!!!! I get it, but quitting smoking because you have to might be easier than you think. You and I have probably been smoking the same amount of time - although I never smoked in the house because I never wanted that smell or in the car with the kids for their health. Hope this series of shots works better that the last! Sharon [/SIZE][/FONT] [/QUOTE]
