18 Months

Tomorrow is the 18 month mark. Of when I had my left kidney removed. The one with the mass on it. Turned out to be cancer after the pathology was done.
The scar is not much more than a line, with some small tuck and roll effects.
It is also the same mark for quitting smoking. Yup. I spent four days in hospital, it was fairly easy to finally do it. But I did have some incentive, as it were.
So thanks go out again to Ann, Buck, kc, Snigs, Jeff, Kath, MUD, Old NFO, Wyatt Earp, Opus 6 and all the rest. For the support and understanding. I will not forget.

I love ya all!

  2. I figured it was the best time to quit.
    I no longer have the "want" for a cigarette.
    Thanks Buddy!

  3. Glenn, I'm new to your blog, so this is the first I've heard of your health troubles/adventures/whatever.

    Yeah, I need to quit smoking myself. I actually quit for 10 years, and took it back up.

    Really. I suck. Literally.

    Well, I'm an exerciser, and a walker, and an extremely active person on my job(s), so I've never really noticed any breathing problems even though I do puff about half a pack a day.

    But, I should really quit for financial reasons. Those things are through the roof. Will I? Maybe. A couple of years ago, I'd have said, "Hell NO!" But, as I look at it from the financial end, and remember back to the days when I was quit (how I felt physically), I think I just might give 'er a rip. Again.

    Thanks for this post...given me some good grass for chewing.

    And, oh yeah, bestest wishes for no more cancer junk. NEVER!
