I too am happy to hear that some of your issues are abating. Yes, you are way tougher than I would ever be. I would have cracked like an egg at half the stuff you went through. I'm a wimp! We are only the cheering section... you have a great strength within yourself that you seem to draw on everyday.
Ros wrote a very thought out post which is a good step in the right direction along with all the help from your doctors.
We all want you to succeed... you are a valuable asset here. What would we do without our resident poet?
You hang in there, girlie. You can and you will!
Best,
Pupilemur

At 160 days, your stats and your strength to stay quit are truly impressive!
You have made many meaningful friendships here and have equally contributed in a very significant way to others' quits.
You are a non-smoker and no matter what happens or how horrible you feel, smoking will not make anything better and you know this. Post here as often as you need to in order to get through and ask and accept any help that you need.
Hi Pupikat, I'm so glad to hear you're doing a little better. And look at you strutting along at 160 days - how cool is that?? Hang tough, you are doing great!!

Glad you are feeling well. Let the healing begin. I've been MIA the last couple weeks but for good reason I was on vacation and don't have internet at home. I am doing well and I'm glad my trickiness helped. lol. Whatever it takes right? I'm doing quite well and even better after knowing you are ok. Take it easy and get yourself up to par and be happy in the fact that you are healing day by day. I got to catch up on sleep and exercise over the holidays it was nice. I also got a punching bag for Christmas. What a great gift. lol.
Pupikat, I'm so happy that are you on the mends. So many people touch our lives each and every day. I'm glad I was part of the "gang" there for you, and I thank everybody for being there for me when I needed your wisdom, advice, and support!

You don't have to worry about thanking me. It has been my pleasure to quit with you. We have helped each other along the way and it has worked. I also counted on your prayers when I had my problem a while back and you where there for me. This site is a god send and I think that Sparky's avatar summs it up best. Hey quit buddy we have 160 days today. Happy dancing is in order so lets get started.

Pupikat - it sounds like you've been having a very hard time of it. Good thing you quit smoking - your health issues could be a lot worse if you still smoked! It would certainly be making things more difficult for you and your doctors.
Just wanted to let you know that I'm praying for your quick recovery. Hang in there.
