I recently told you guys that on my 5th day of quitting, my own dad was admitted to the hospital due to lung issues caused by smoking. They had put tubes in him to extract liquid from his lung. His condition seemed to have been improving.
However i learned yesterday, that they had to take him back to the ER because there was a mysterious cut on his lung that did not seem to be healing and was being made worse by a cough he had. They've done a biopsy of his lung so the family and myself are here praying for the best. The best results that is!!! I hope whatever caused the problems in the first place is something that can be 'fixed' 'merely' by quitting smoking.
Praying For The Best,
NieNie.
P.S. As for me I'm holding out. I'm 8 days in on quitting cold turkey. |

Hi Dreamer - NieNie - Hope the news was good for your dad. Sure sounded pretty scary!
I missed your early posts - so WELCOME to woofmang! I'm glad you only smoked for four years...it took me 24 years of smoking to figure out those cancer sticks would kill me... You are wise beyond your years - knowing that its time to quit...
I hope you've stayed smoke free since your last posts...even with the long distance worry with your dad in the hospital - quitting can be difficult - but the rewards are amazing...take it one day at time!! _________________
