Guest guest Posted February 24, 2011 Report Share Posted February 24, 2011 Honey, we are glad you are home safe and sound. Heart doctors seem to all get to the point and not beat around the bush. You can do exactly what he said and get the benefits. It is easier said than done. We will be here with you all the way. We need you to take care of us so remember you are doing it for everyone including you.

Well I saw my heart doc for the results of last weeks 'bunchalabsandtests'.- Thats a new word - 'bunchalabsandtests'. LOL :-) Anyways, my doc said that the left side of my heart is damaged.I think he said that the left side pumps blood back to the body. He didnt prescribe anything for it tho, and I didnt know what questions to ask him except - 'am I gonna die' - which I didnt.I was going to ask - 'how damaged', but didnt because I wouldnt understand the answer, having nothing to compare it to. He did say that it is critical to begin an exercise program, and to stop smoking cigs ASAP.I am to exercise for 5 minutes a day, per week, and to bump it up by 3 minutes a day, per week.He wants me to get to the point where I am exercising daily for 30 minutes, and to continue this protocal for the rest of my life. He wrote me a script for Zyban, to take away the smoking craving.He told me not to use the nic patches, or chew the nic gum.He said that people just get addicted to this different form of nicotine use.Thats what I think too. He kicked my butt verbally pretty good, so I better get on the ball.He told me that there is no point in my seeing him if Im not going to make the necessary changes to become healthier.Monitoring me as I kill myself step by step is a waste of money and time.I cant argue with that logic. He is right. Im not even going to look up the side effects or dangers of taking Zyban.Im just going to start using it, and pray for the best.Hopefully by the middle of March I can tell everyone that I am truely smoke free....finally after 50+ years of smoking. I have an exercise bike right next to my bed, a 1-hour timer, and I can see my TV to distract me from the pain that I am sure will kick my butt.I have run out of excuses.....wah. LMAOJust kidding - this is exactly the path that I desire to go down.I want to live, and be as healthy as I can be until the stars call me home.

Guest guest Posted February 24, 2011 Report Share Posted February 24, 2011 I have been patching it for about 4 wks now and its not so bad and yes you are still getting the nictione but not all the other poisons - chemicals they are putting into cigs now days and yes it is easier on your heart and lungs. As for you liver well it is still getting nictione but there again not all that other crap. Hope you try the patches they do work. Beth Honey, we are glad you are home safe and sound.

Guest guest Posted February 24, 2011 Report Share Posted February 24, 2011 DonWell, let's both give up the cigarettes together!!! The cold/flu crappy thing that I had for 2 weeks is still doing a pretty good job of not allowing me to smoke. I only had 2 packs in 2 weeks and geez, if you could see the big butts I have. However, the way I see it, I managed to live when I couldn't smoke, why not just keep going.I have had Zyban and the main ingredient is a low dose Wellbutrin. That seems funny to me; because, I'm on a prescription for Wellbutrin now and it sure doesn't interfere with my smoking. However, we know the habit is controlling our lives and we need to conquer it, finally.Now, for some reason, I remembered that one of the replacement Drs. I saw one time, also was an exercise freak. However, he described to me, a good exercise at no cost. Take two cans of something, like soup or beans or whatever you buy in cans. Lift those continuously like they were actual weight. That Dr. swore that a person doesn't really need the weights. You know, I gave up over 45 years ago, working on my chest. I got what I got and that's all there is. It's the act of lifting something many times that gets everything circulating.Luv Gloria Hi everybody Im home finally. Gad, I hate Wednesdays - I spend all day at the doctors.
