Good Day all! Hows it going everyone? Well, I told my family of my plans last night. My mother in particular was THRILLED! My father had tried to quit a couple of times as well, so she knows what to expect. {she says.} LOL!
I was reminded of something last night. My father actually DID quit before he died, but do you know what it took for him to do it? 3 heart-attacks, open-heart surgery, and then a major Stroke that wiped his memory of ever smoking. He couldn't remember smoking. He was smoke free for the last 5 years of his life, and it cost him his speech, movement of his right side, ability to read, or to even understand some of the most minor things. He never got any of that back. We moved a hospital bed into the living room and took care of him there. He was totally dependent on us for everything. He died at 55 years of age.
Yet another reminder of the road I DON'T want to be on. Sorry for rambling people. Just getting this out so I can see it in type.
I hope everyone is have a good day!!
