My Dr. was estactic today. He told me that I have done great things for my body by quiting and staying quit.
In December we do a complete physical so we will see just how much good I have done. He also gave me a script for my arthiritis and for my acid refulx and he wants me to take a sleep test for sleep apnea.

Anyway this is the here and now and there is life after smoking


Five months, six days, 7 hours, 46 minutes and 13 seconds. 6372 cigarettes not smoked, saving $1,099.33. Life saved: 3 weeks, 1 day, 3 hours, 0 minutes.

I'm so happy to hear this great news! I can't wait to hear how the dr. visit goes in December!! I'm going for my yearly physical in a few weeks and I can't wait to see what my doctor has to say. I sure am breathing easier and feeling wonderful physically. I just wish I could feel better emotionally sometimes....gotta take the good with the bad though!

Very Happy Hi Leona,

I'm glad to hear you got a good report. I'm sure the longer you go without smoking the better your acid reflux will get. I also have acid reflux and it seemed to act up worse at 1st after quitting from the stress of quitting but smoking will make it worse so eventually you and I will be better off. Smoking also aggravates sleep apnea. I hope you get a good report on that test.

Blessings,

I bet your doctor is very proud of you...especially if he feels he had a part in your decision to give it a try...my doctor is plain giddy.

Dear Leona,

Congrats on a good report from the dr. My cardiologist was thrilled when I told him I had quit smoking. His remark to my husband was, "She's a very determined person, isn't she?" Tp me, that was his way of acknowledging just how difficult it is to quit and remain quit. I could have hugged him.

Wow!! Awesome!! Quitting is great for the body!! Very Happy


Are you going to see a throat nose ear doctor for the sleep apnea? My friend just had something similar done.
