Re: Update from a 7/20 post-op

GOOD FOR YOU for giving up the smoking. I am having surgery on September 6,

and I am in the fight of my life trying to stop smoking. Ii am dying for one

right now. I have heard that you have a tough time breathing when you have

surgery if you are a smoker. I know I will have to give them up anyway after

surgery, but I don't want to smoke all the way up to time for the surgery and

then not be able to breathe. I am preparing for a new life and although I

really like to smoke, my new life will not include cigarettes. Please lake

care of yourself and may God bless you is my prayer.

(waiting to start a new life)

Smoking makes it hard for the healing process somehow. I just want my health

and smoking will take me out. I want to live and I am willing to give it up.

It, like food is a crutch for me. please pray for me as I attempt to do this.

It will be a challenge I know. Please take care of yourself and may God

bless you is my prayer.
