FYI: knee surgery IS in my future. Once it's done and I'm healing, I'm taking a trip home.

She was to late getting off work to go anywhere so we munched outta the fridge.

Good luck with the knee dave!

This is why I'm trying very hard to put off what will probably be inevitable knee surgery as long as I can.

Got the word: next Thursday at 215pm.

Not looking forward to the surgery, but definitely looking forward to not being in pain.

Keep it up. I haven't had one sense Jan 20th. (the day of my heart attack). I still get cravings from time to time--but they have passed quicker and quicker each time I get one. If I need a big time reminder of why not to smoke? I just look at my chest where the scar resides.

Plus sense my ticker didn't improve after the surgery? It's working---but so badly enlarged and damaged the surgery corrected the damage, but it can't reverse it enough. I'm looking at a pacemaker/deflib implant next month. Had the meeting with the cardiac doc today about it. He stated the choice is simple...leave it alone...and sooner or later it will repeat another one. Or get the 'insurance' of the device, and rest easy knowing in 'most' cases it will prevent a full blown incident.

Nice choices...and I screwed myself big time over 20 years of smoking and bad eating habits. Not going to blame Marlboro or McD's either. It was my own stupid choices.

We need more of this in this country. People who take responsibility for their own bad/stupid/irresponsible choices instead of trying to blame someone else.

I quit back in '91. I was at 3 packs a day and basically disgusted myself out of the habit. I think I've told 3 versions of how I quit (all true) but really it was just self disgust. Now, I can't believe anyone smokes. It's horrible to be somewhere after someone has been smoking. It's horrible to talk to someone that smells like smoke. After a campfire (which we do frequently) I have to shower and change clothes.

I started smoking at 14 and quit at 21, and at 21 maxed the Marine Corps pft in NCO school with a 17:55 3-miles, so it wasn't health at all. I was just tired of it.

My uncle (deceased these 20+ years from a shop accident, God rest him) told me when I was 16 and working in his shop in Garland, Texas, that he woke up one morning without any smokes left, realized he was tired of running out for smokes like a slave at any hour and right then dropped the habit. Myself, I dropped the remainder of a pack in a garbage can at the airport in Des Moines and when I got off the plane at Pearl Harbor I was a non-smoker.
