Not doing so good at the moment but still hanging in there. Think I'll just go to bed and sleep through this one. Thanks Lamplighter & Casey. It's so cool to see all the same monitors/helpers/caring people still here :) Just breathe...

Thats the way to go joyful! Remember to hold that breath in for two seconds before letting go! Why does deep breathing work? Well it is exactly the same a drawing on a cigarette, but without the nasty chemicals!

Day 3,,,went pretty good :) I just keep telling myself that I'm not going to obsess over it & that I'm just through. And of course a lot of deep breaths :) And of course I thought about you Ms. Lady when I used the N word, lol. I felt like being obnoxious at the moment,,,what can I say! Just breathe...
