cant believe i'm doing this. so much is different this time around. once you make the committment to quit, half the struggle is done with.

I am having surgery early next year and part of this process is needing clearance from a pulmonologist. I finally had my appointment today. My chest X-rays looked great! (almost 3 packs a day... lungs look good? *wipes brow*) I did great on the breathing test! He was actually surprised to hear that I was ever a smoker. :D Woo hoo! I have sleep apnea (boooooo) This is a good and a bad thing. Bad because it is sleep apnea but good because it is one more justification toward getting the surgery. :D I go for sleep study in mid November. I am not looking forward to that because I probably won't sleep.

good news about the hospital good luck with the study xx

Congratulations. You've got the most difficult week in the history books. Celebrate this because it is huge.:D
