Hey All! I know I have been missing for a bit, but, with that ONE exception, I haven't had a relapse at all. What happened was, I got a real bad infection and real sick. Cellulitis of the face, which I thought was something fat people get but turns out to be a bad infection. I will spare you the truly horrific details, but I am feeling better now. Bless you, hard core Anti-Biotics. I don't know if I ever mentioned here, but I have Multiple Sclerosis, so my immune system tends to be weak. I started a new injection therapy, and I think that, combined with the stress etc etc caused the infection... So, just to bring it back on track, boys and girls, I am still smoke free, though I haven't downgraded my patch yet from 14mg... I am at a weight, this AM, of 180.6 pounds with a starting weight of 200.8, so I have lost over 10% of my body weight! 40-50 more to go!
To end, with a musical quote, as is my wont, a little John Lennon:
People asking questions lost in confusion,
Well I tell them there's no problem,
Only solutions,
Well they shake their heads and they look at me as if I've lost my mind,
I tell them there's no hurry...
I'm just sitting here doing time,
