My skin looks and feels healthier. I healed much faster. I have more energy. I can go upstairs and not be out of breath. I can go for walks and not be as winded. I can water ski and go tubing and can breath afterwards. I do not stink. I enjoy being around more people. I don't worry about where I go and how I will smoke.
However, I am a little crankier in some circumstances, especially if it really upsets me. Also, I thought I would get more accomplished during the day, but that isn't happening. I have gained some weight, but it will come off.
My neighbor tells me that it will only get better. Rebecca

Believe me, I'm fine, Toots...I LOVE coming here and finding you...like I said, you've become my little 'giggle buddy' since I 'met' you, so you're doing much more FOR me than you know...

SharonVS, I'm so sorry. I'm such a 'ding dong'. I'm a little 'slow' sometimes. If you have stopped smoking I shouldn't be talking about it with you. I don't want to tempt you in any way! Sometimes, I just don't use my brain the way I should..what have I been thinking??? That's the problem, I DON'T think sometimes. Sorry!
That's so nice of you. I'm glad I can make your day a little brighter. That means a lot to me. You have no idea how honored that makes me feel.
Hang in there. I know you have a lot going on in your life right now. I just want you to know that if you ever need anything, just to talk or whatever it may be, I'm here for you.

Oh yeah, she's as protective today as she was 30 years ago...she quite a bit older than me, and the oldest, so that makes her the queen bee... Thanks for your sweet words, Toots...you always cheer me up, so I hunt you down on here every evening...

I had mentioned having the TR to my sis when we first scheduled 'cause I can tell her ANYthing..she got a bit ticked off about it, but then we found out about her cancer, so she hasn't said anything else. She is worried since my age is 45...health issues and all..but that's her..very outspoken and blunt..and she thinks she's my mom, so she's a wee bit bossy, too...bless her bossy little heart...

Thank you, Toots...I was trying not to seem 'upset' on here, as this is a place...probably why I'm here constantly...lol..but it's been a rough week. I heard those pills can be tough to give up, so I figured best not to start them at all...that would just be another quirk to deal with.

Yes, Toots...those little things that I was just so accustomed to...coffee, Diet Coke and cigs...are the very things that I have to stop doing... Also, I had just been to my doc for anxiety...(my adored older sister who practically raised me has inoperable cancer)...we just found this out a week ago...well, my doc prescribed Klonopin...and I had to refuse it. I'm afraid to take anything foreign..especially anxiety meds...so, giving up my little 'nasties' is extra tough now....

That's the bad thing about drinking. You know how some people like their coffee and cigs. I HAVE to smoke if I drink. It's really hard not to.
I just have lots of changes to do in my life. I want to have my body healthy after TR. Don't wanna do anything to jeopardize TTC afterwards. I'm working on a lot all at once. That may be the problem. I'm trying to watch my 'diet', my smoking, and not drink--like I said, not really a problem, though. I can drink or not. It's usually just social drinking.
