Thank you Koala!! I am up...it is 3:51 here. I woke up choking again...sat on the toilet...so I would not wet myself and chked up a fair bit of phlegm...yuck.... better out than in though!! The patch really helps but my mouth is so very dry..I have been drinking more water today to try to flush the phlegm and keep my mouth moistened. I have only been on antibiotics for 1 day so I am figuring hat I will feel much better by Friday.
Thank you for all of your support Anne!!! I sent up a prayer in the santuary tonight for you and DH.

Happy New Year Dorrie.....from one ex smoker to another......
It's a little after 8pm at the moment here, so if you can remember the time differences.... then I'm almost always around about this time of night.... should you need a little support. The yukky chest is apparently quite common as your innards try to expel some of the gunk that you've inhaled over the years. Please remember that it'll start to get better really soon.

Hi Anne!! Thank you for your support...I always look forward to your posts but they are even better when they are for me!!!!!!
 I am doing well with the smoke free life...little cravings here and there but I handle them like a charm...I just rub my patch and do something else..they go away. With the exception of the few puffs I tried to inhale days and days ago...I am not even counting them....I am on my 9th patch...I have never quit for more thaan 10 days in my life. This time it is for life. Even though I have the cravings I do not want to be a smoker. Thank goodness I did quit...I still have the same cold that has been a month...I still have to go for my x ray...but I m on some good antibiotics...still have 5 days more of them to go...Lordy I want to feel better soon...my lungs are sore and I am very short of breath today...cannot imagine what I would be like if I was still smoking!!!!Hope DH is feeling better Anne. I think of you alot and I still say little prayers on your behalf. This ig a good week....Saffire is turning 2 years old on Wed. January 7th..hooray!! Boy the time flies...Williams b-day must be coming soon too?! They grow so fast don't they!! Take Care Anne...All the best to you and your Hubby...Hugs and one for William too!!

I noticed that you hadn't posted for a few days, so I'm hoping that "no news is good news".

Hello Dorrie! I have never been a smoker, but I'm really proud of you and your positive attitude. Keep w/it and you will succeed. A very good friend of ours quit smoking a few of wks ago, as he had surgery scheduled for PAD in his legs. The Dr said that smoking probably played a huge part in his PAD dx.
His wife called us and said that the stuff he had been coughing up since he quit smoking was just plain nasty. So, think of that as a cleansing of your lungs. She said it took a few wks and now the phlegm is pretty clear. I am in no way preaching to smokers, just cheering you on and wishing you continued success. You CAN do it! You ARE doing it.
