Re: Smoke free Christmas for me

Doreen and group;

Yes indeed smoke free. I made 2 appointments with the doc than

canceled them both. Coughing is not as bad. I am making another

appointment with the doc this wwk, I have to see him anyway about my

c-pap. He than can check to see if I have any infections.

I can already breathe better since I quit smoking. The house is

smoke free also. Everyone not smoking as much since they have to go

outside to smoke.

Everyone have a Merry Christmas. My daughter is having Christmas

dinner. I love them big dinners. Take care and God bless

gentle hugs

Hello Clora:

Just got back from a week with a dear friend of mine.

I am so happy to read your tried not smoking again, and are successful!

Congratulations, and I am happy that you can breathe easier. Such a

wonderful gift to yourself.

I thought a lot about you last week, and hoped that things were going

good for you. I hope your cough is minor, and doesn't develop into

anything serious. I am glad you are calling your dr. and hope you get

an appt. soon. Don't let it go. You don't want to be sick when Santa

arrives at your house.

Take care of yourself, and talk soon. Wishing you better days ahead,

and painfree days. God Bless you.

Hugs,

Barbara

Barbara and group;

Hi barbara, It's so good to hear from you. I am happy to hear you

spent a week with one of your friends. It's times like these a

friend is nice to have around.

Yes ty for the congrats. I am still sick cough cough. This nasty

cold giving me a hard way to go. It don't feel like a gift to myself

right now but I kknow it will in a few weeks.

I think the reason my cough is so bad is cause I quit smoking and

this has agitated my lungs. Maybe a lot of stuff is clearing out of

my lungs, know what I mean.

Twelve more days before Christmas. Everyone should be ready by now.

We do have those procrastenators. I am sure that is spelled wrong

but I think you know what I mean. Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays

and wishing you have a wonerful New Year beginning.

gentle hugs

Clora

Everyone;

I just want to say Have a Merry Christmas everyone and Happy Holidays.

What ever holiday your having let it be a great one. Don't drink and

drive. Put the cell phones away while driving. It may be a matter of

opinion but please be careful during the holiday times. Lock car doors

put packages in the trunk. Have a safe and Happy Holiday.

Hi Clora:

Nice to get your post today. I sure hope your cold and cough starts to

ease up for you. Coughing is so wearing. I am happy that you are still

not smoking. Like I said before, a great gift to yourself.

Things are still very difficult here. I do believe my hubby will leave

me, and our 27 years of marriage. I also believe it is due to my RA,

and he can't ( won't) deal with it. I took my marriage vows very

seriously, and I guess he doesn't. My heart is truly broken, and I am

having a very hard time dealing with all this hurt. I do know you can't

make someone stay against their will. I still find it hard that all

this is happening to me.

I am soooooo looking forward to Christmas!!! It is my favorite time of

the year. I put my tree up, and all my country Christmas decorations

around the house. I have my tree lit all day long!!!!

My son has been here, staying with me for a month now. He and the

family are moving here to North Port. They just sold the house in N.H.,

so they will all be here by the end of January. He came early because

he got a great job offer here, and he is thrilled with the job and the

people he works with. I am so thankful everyday that he is here with

me. I don't know how I would be getting through each day without him

here. He is a rock for me.

I know a lot of your cough is your lungs trying to clear out all that

junk, etc. You will be feeling much better real soon.

Take care, and God Bless you. Wishing you pain free days.

Hugs,

Barbara

Hi Clora:

Thanks for your loving, supportive, compassionate letter. I can't

imagine how awful you felt going through all that, plus being pregnant.

What a terrible thing to do to you, especially at that time.

I am doing o.k., just taking things slow, and one day at a time. What

other options do I really have. I am going forward, drawing my strength

from myself, my loving family, and loving friends. I will be glad when

all this is over, then I can begin to heal, and go forward with my life.

Time does heal all wounds.

I hope your cough is getting better, and that you will feel much better

soon. I am thrilled you aren't smoking. Quite a victory, and I know it

is a hard battle. I am so proud of you. Keep up your good work.

I want to wish you and your family a special Merry Christmas. You are

so loving, and very kind. Always in my thoughts and prayers.

Love and hugs,

Barbara

Barbara and group;

Awe your so welcome Barbara. We all seem to feel for each other.

It was so very hard to get through it but like you said one day at a

time. I just wanted to let you know I know how you feel and I am

here for you.

My cough is much better. I made an appointment to see my doctor

about this cold. I also need to see him about my c-pap, he had them

turn it down to low. I can hardly breath with the mask on. My

migrains are not so intense anymore. I was in agony with migraines

since he had the c-pap lowered they are much better.

It is hard quit smoking but I have no choice in the matter. I

couldnt breathe anymore. I am breathing better since I quit smoking.

You will be ok Barbara. I can tell by how you talk in your text.

Drawing strenth from your family is the best thing to do. Thats what

I did through my divorce. I am glad your keeping busy with your

family. God bless and take care..........................Clora

Clora - I am so happy to hear you can feel the benefits of quitting

smoking. That is such a huge motivator to stay quit. I wish you all

the best.

I had a thought regarding your CPAP and Migraines. Have your doctors

considered a BiPAP instead? Instead of having the continuous pressure,

the pressure is up for inhaling and then drops down for exhaling.

I pray you are able to figure out why this cough is lingering. Perhaps

you need an antibiotic. Keep us posted. We all care.

Doreen and group;

Thanks Doreen. I feel a lot better since I quit and it's getting a

lot easier now doing with out a ciggy. At first I though I was going

crazy. But I had no choice to quit, I couldnt breathe.

The migrains have stopped. Doctor said my breathing wasnt from the c-

pap but from the infection I had. So I am trying the one I got now.

Maybe down the line I will ask aobut a Bi-pap. Never heard of it but

something to consider.

I am feeling better but still much weak. You know how these colds

go. cough cough not as bad. He gave me some potent cough syrup.

Take care and May God bless you and take care of you.

gentle hugs
