so far

Had last cigarette over 7 hours ago.   Hoping I can at least make it overnight.  One hour, one minute at a time.  The urge to smoke is overshadowing everything right now.  The acupuncture worked, I’m not going thru withdrawals but I AM fighting a huge habit.  And I have no willpower.  We’ll see how it goes.

more tests

As far as I know my next surgery is Sept 1st.  They were gonna call me this afternoon just to confirm. No phone call so I assume it’s a go.  She thinks the plastic surgeon will want to see me before, to ‘look at the area’.  She’s also scheduling  a bone and liver scan.  I didn’t ask what those are for but I again assume, and mom agreed that it’s for the chemo.  I’ve also got an appointment with an acupuncturist on Wednesday to quit smoking.  Gonna be a busy 1o days.  That’s a good thing.  The busier I am, the faster the day gets here, the less time I have to dwell.

smoking

I need to quit smoking and obviously I’m leaving it till the last minute.  I called a couple of acupuncture places today and got their voicemail.  I didn’t leave a message.  I hate leaving messages.  But I need to quit smoking.  At least for the duration of the next surgeries.  Bargaining isn’t working, neither is calculating the amount of money I’ll save or the toys I could buy myself, or the health aspects of it.  I’ll call the acupuncture places on Monday again.  Right after my appointment with the surgeon.
