Chubbola, (sorry, didn't see your real name)-was wondering how you were doing on the no smoking....I just had my 1 yr quit anniversary on 1-1-07...so I know it is hard...now just waiting on the rest of my testing to get a surgery date...hopefully late this month or early next....I am in Il -Elgin about 2 hrs from the Dells...spent a few hours up there at Ho-Chunk-bought those Indian kids many moccasins!!! :nervous I had a message from my surgeons office but didn't hear it til too late...may have to wait til Monday....:cry Hvae a great weekend.... Mae

:think I had my last appointment with a pulomonologist on the 21st....I was kind of worried about this one as I have pulmonary embolisms in my family history....not only did he send for a special blood test for that, but also a sleep study and also thought he heard a systolic murnmur, so I have to have echocardiogram for that...the sleep study-they never came in to put the mask on me-does anybody know, does this usually mean no apnea? I know I snore, but never thought it kept me from sleeping properly-one of the VERY BEST THINGS I do is sleep......:notagree so not sure where we are at this moment.....I am soooo ready mentally...but I do want to make sure everything is good to go.....

That is great!!! I quit last January 1st...it does get easier...but it is worth it...there is a great website I found quitnet.com......great support, hang in there....feel free to pm me if you need anything!!!:clap2:
