How exciting that her wedding will be in the near future. I am very proud of you for giving up smoking. Smoking and kidney disease are a very bad combination does cause damage to the small vessels, and that is what your kidneys are comprised of. If any of you on the board smoke, I want to highly encourage you to quit smoking as soon as possible. Best of luck with it Rita. You are a strong and determined woman and I know you can do it! I am pulling for you! In a message dated 8/10/2005 6:35:15 P.M. Pacific Daylight Time, Ritanuch@... writes: I had the best time on my vacation to Jersey.

Guest guest Posted August 10, 2005 Report Share Posted August 10, 2005 I missed you too Rita :-) We got the blood tests back yesterday and Jerri is cleared to go on for the physical testing! One more step completed! Now it is a race against the clock because I am getting too low to wait much longer for dialysis access. In a message dated 8/10/2005 6:57:39 P.M.

Guest guest Posted August 10, 2005 Report Share Posted August 10, 2005 Hi All, It's been quite a while and will take quite a while more to catch up on past posts! A very warm welcome to all our new members. I had the best time on my vacation to Jersey. Got to do all the things that I really wanted to do. Some personal news....my daughter's boyfriend will be popping the question to her soon, so there is a future wedding to plan for :-) Only regret is that and I tried to hook up, but I simply ran out of time. Hopefully we will meet in January when I return for my daughter's graduation. Other news worth mentioning...through my health insurance, I joined the Free & Clear plan to quit smoking....I begin on Saturday and I WILL kick this awful habit! Today was my first day back to work and I'm whooped, but I will be checking in regularly now that I'm home! Blessings and hugs to all, Rita Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted August 11, 2005 Report Share Posted August 11, 2005 Welcome back Rita, I am so happy for you that your vacation was fun and congrats on the upcoming engagement. WOW!! Quitting smoking, I also smoke and would love to quit just haven't found the place of peace in my mind to do it. It seems like every time I begin to get the strength to quit for good something happens that throws me for a loop. But I'm not giving up trying the " almost " will power id there in the near future.

Guest guest Posted August 11, 2005 Report Share Posted August 11, 2005 YIPPY Rita! I so envy your trip to Jersey. We missed you! Good luck with Free & Clear. It took me me forever to quit and I don't think I could have done it a day earlier. I remain convinced that the only reason my last attempt did the trick was that I didn't start the day trying to quit. Got up, had a cigarette and coffee and then contemplated quitting. Cy I'm Back!

Guest guest Posted August 11, 2005 Report Share Posted August 11, 2005 Oh Amy, you are so right....today IS day 3 and I'm really feeling pretty drained...just reflecting on the time I spent with my daughters and my old high school buddies! Thanks for the support - Saturday is the big " QUIT SMOKING " day. I'm actually looking forward to it. Hugs, Rita Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
