Good you are home, Chris! I'll keep praying for you.

[cobraman]

Glad your home. Follow doctors orders for a quicker recovery. Don't know if your a reader but if you are and like Stephen King I have some paperbacks I would be happy to send you to help you pass the time. If interested just PM me with your address and I will ship some out as soon as I can.

Welcome back Gluhead, good to hear they let you out and good luck with the rest of your recovery. I know Nurses can be pretty, I am married to one. As far as the smoking, I gave it up 31 years ago, funny how you will always remember how long. That was the hardest thing I've ever done, it was right after my son was born. When my Mom was in the hospital in your condition, they put her in a room with someone on oxygen and told her that would be her the next time if she didn't give up smoking. It worked. Good luck and God bless.

[Gluhead]

Thanks a lot, guys. So far so good. 3 days no smokes, even.

Congrats Gluhead! I quit last June first and still clean! If I can do it you sure can. We're all pullin for you.

Thanks a lot, guys. So far so good. 3 days no smokes, even.

Congrats and keep up the healthy living. Take that cigarette money and put it to good use- buy more models!

[crazyjim]

Glad to hear you're recuperating. Stay off those BLAH_BLAH_BLAH_BLAH cigarettes - I'll go have one for you momentarily.

[Gluhead]

Heheh...thanks guys, and Jim just make sure it's not a menthol.

[crazyjim]

No menthol, Gluhead. Infact, I roll my own since the prices of store bought went through the roof.

[Gluhead]

I was doing the same...$50 a month, covering two people, instead of $400. No brainer! I can only imagine how much that $400 has gone up since I switched.

REALLY struggling with this at the moment, though. I've been trying for SIX DAYS to get insulin out of my pharmacy that they will let go out the door without me paying for it out of pocket. THREE of my doctors have told them to get their heads out of their arse and they still......anyway, the head pharmacist was just given a revised lesson in "lividius maximus" and I think I'm finally going to get what I need.

Unreal, I tell ya. Hm. Yet I'm returning from Hulk to David Banner, and still haven't had a smoke.

[Brett Barrow]

Best wishes for a speedy recovery. I was just poking around your Fotki page the other day, found it through an old post about opening up a 41 Chevy grille. You do some great work.

You have my full support! Keep not smoking and put that $5 a pack towards model kits. I hear building them can be very therapeutic.

[Modelbuilder Mark]

Jim, Glu I have not been reading many posts the last few days, so I am VERY sorry to be reading this so many days later. PLEASE know Glu, and my thoughts and prayers are with you.

[Gluhead]

Thank you, Brett. That's always good to hear.

Mark, hey bro no problem at all. You're late to the party but that doesn't mean you can't bring presents anyway.

Kevin, no way I could have afforded to keep buying them by the pack! Like many, I went to rolling my own and cut the cost down to around a buck a pack a long time ago. Still, that's a kit a month, right?

[Steven Zimmerman]

Chris is in the hospital ?....I hope the hospital recovers......(GRIN)

[Gluhead]

It did, Steve...but ONLY because they have Jim as tech support!

[Joker]

Glad to have you back .

I'm also a smoker and tried kicking the habit/vice

but I'm only successful during a cold/flu.

Anyhoo..Glad to see you posting again.

Glu glad to hear your recovering. l quit smoking cold turkey in 1994 march 17 l have not touched one since. The longer your off the better it gets. After 3 months l never had any trouble, it takes 3 to 5 days for nicotine to get out of your system. l have you in my thoughts and prayers...

[Gluhead]

Thanks, guys. I've been a non-smoker for nearly two weeks now. Tried having one a couple times when the compulsion was ridiculously intense, but both times it turned out that a cigarette was definitely not what I was craving. My body has gone through so much lately that I'm not sure it knows which way is up, so I'll let things settle back down a bit and see if that compulsion is still there. For now, lots of sunflower seeds and popsickles.
