Hi guys!

I don't have cancer, or anything else! It's possible my numbers are off because I smoke cigarettes. So I need to cut down, then new blood work in a month. If numbers are fine then it was the cigarettes doing the stuff, if not the doctors are looking into rare diseases.

I've been nervous like *@*$%!
Mauer has behaved like a champion. I'm waiting on the final go ahead on taking my meds during the night, since the cardiologist can't see a difference in my pulse..
But I think what I've been doing has worked out. :D

I need a smoke...
I hope you're all doing great, staying safe and enjoying life :bighug::bighug:
 
Great news on the cancer! I've been wondering if you'd gotten your results back yet. I hope it's just the cigarettes and you are able to cut back. Glad Mauer is doing well. Sending prayers. :bighug::bighug::bighug::bighug::bighug::bighug::bighug:

Just got the results back yesterday.
Thanks Carla :bighug::bighug::bighug:
 
Happy you don't have cancer. I smoke those bloody cigarettes, too. Wish I could quit but stress just makes me want to keep smoking. Hope Mauer slides down safely for you today.
 
Great news Sasha, take care of yourself and its amazing that Mauer was such a sweetheart and wasn’t challenging you too much during that stressful period :bighug:
 
So glad no C-word! Nicotine is a powerful drug. It can affect a lot in the body. I know as I was addicted for many years. Quitting was the hardest thing I ever did in my life and I had to use the nicotine mints to do it. Good luck with cutting down and I hope Mauer stays nice and steady for you, Sasha! :bighug:

I thought it would be the same for me, but so far it's been very easy. I'm on my 8th for today. But I know what you mean! The cure for stress is a cigarette, the stress of not smoking is leaving us to want to smoke even more. But it's getting way to expensive and im tired of it... 320$ a month going up in smoke. One pack of 9$.

It was just what I needed. The doctors even talked about it could be stress from not sleeping enough because of Mauer :oops:
I hope it doesn't end up being the cause.

I've bought some help, arriving tomorrow. But so far it's not bad at all. I'm very surprised! But maybe it helps that I've have these thoughts for years and been sick of it..
How long ago did you quit?

I've been lucky (or unlucky). I found a lady who rolls them and sells them for $23 a carton. I was spending over $72 dollars a carton prior to her.

Sasha. I’m glad to read that good news. At least cigarette smoking is something that you can do something about- you are in control. What a relief! Mauer needs you to be healthy…. not to mention you other fur babies!

You're so right Suzanne! And I'm down to 7-8 cigarettes a day. I'm in control of how much I smoke, and I think about every single one.

That’s excellent that you’ve cut back so much. Way to go! If you keep going we would have to have an OTJ party for you! Hmmm? OTJ? Off the smoke? OTS? Off the nicotine? OTN party? Anyway, we would need baby pictures ;):p

Or off the junk?
Baby pictures?!?!?!
 
So good to hear from you! I have been thinking about you, but not wanting to pry. Excellent news on the blood results. Well done on making an effort to quit cigarettes. Think about all you can do with the money saved....

And you, too, Karen. I have been wondering where you have been and how you are doing. Are you well?
 
Hi Suzanne, we are good, thanks for asking.
Hercs is still on his rollercoster :(
But I had to start working in person, so I have to be more careful with pushing his numbers.... but I might have been to lax, and I am afraid we are going to now have to go all the way up again.... oh well! It has been a bit harder to keep up with board, but I always keep an eye on my favourite cats and CGs ;)

I’m glad you and Hercule are well! Lots of people I know are trying to adjust to being back to work. Some of the lucky ones are only having to show up in person two days a week. I miss your wisdom!

Sasha, you're a riot. I was just thinking about you last night and planning to send a message to check in. Glad you got good news AND that Mauer has behaved. I am 100% supportive of @Suzanne & Darcy's suggestion of an OTJ party for you too. How about adding cigarettes to your s/s - every time you have one, you put a little emoji on the s/s. :eek:o_O

But Mauer. Now mama is not worrying about her results, time for you to listen to Auntie Liz. No More Yellows. Today is diving day, haven't you heard? :bighug::bighug:

Pry all you want, dear Karen!
That's exactly my motivation, the money and I'm able to take deep breaths without coughing! It's amazing :D

That was actually a good idea, noting down how much I smoke! But wouldn't it be confusing you think?

I was just thinking about increasing her. So today is definitely the day she need to prove me wrong! She was so close to a green PMPS yesterday! Soooooo close.
If she doesn't, then a fat 2.50 or a full increase of 25mm to 2.75?
