Hey again....
Permalink  
 


Thanks all for your support to my 104 days............still counting............now 108 days!!


I had surgery on Tuesday for bad arteries in my legs.  that was my left leg & will go in again for the right leg soon as possible, probably a few weeks.  Out of work & going to attempt to get disability....bills still need to be paid.......one day at a time, right?


Trying not to over do it.  I can't worry about the painkillers, etc.  It's prescribed medication & damn, I need it. 


And then, I need to quit smoking :)   argh!!!  I told the doc that I just quit drinking, now you want me to quit smoking, next it will be coffee...........it's just not fair!!!


Trying to accept with grace, but I gotta say, it's tough.


It's all for my health, and I'm worth it, and in time......i'll get there


Thanks again for all the support.  I'm sorry that I don't post more often & that is something I will try to fix too.


Love to all of you,


christine

Easy does it, Chrisitne,


and hope you heal up soon!!! Being on the computer is a huge problem for me, as far as my own circulation in my legs... I am in my early 30's and in pretty good shape as far as musculature goes, but I cannot sit for 5 minutes without my legs crossed. I can see the spider veins coming up, and I also feel 'numb' at times. Wish there was something I could do to MAKE myself sit correctly , before I have to start getting medical treament too... Got any suggestions? I may get a different computer chair... heck, a higher desk woulf maybe help too....  Second-hand store, here I come!!!


I am battling cigarettes too... it is a real rough one, and I am here if you need support.


Good to hear from you!!!

Hi Christine,

Well done on all that you are doing. 108 days really is fantastic. Keep on doing what you're doing 'cos it's working!

I was sorry to read about your surgery on Tuesday. I really do hope that you will soon be feeling so much better. You must look after yourself properly. I don't worry about any prescribed meds as my GP knows all about my alcoholism. If you need them, then you take them.

Ah, quitting smoking. That's something that I will be looking at at some point soon. I do hate the habit and I'm aware of how anti-social it is. But, for now, I'm concentrating on not drinking. For me, smoking isn't as important. I affectionately refer to it as my 13th step! But, as with all of the steps, I will be doing it.

With all best wishes for a speedy recovery,

Carol
