Ch - ch - ch - ch - Changes...... (CAT Scan Update)

[Gato 0]

This post is actually about 3 earlier topics/posts.......

I'm soooooo happy right now - I got a call from the CT lab, and the results of my chest scan were clear!!!

No disease or apparent damage in my lungs, and my EKG shows normal heart function. I'll have my stress test next week, which I'm pretty sure will go well.

2nd Reference:

A few months ago, I posted "I quit smoking 20 minutes ago," and promptly started back again a few days later. However, my "doctor of the mind" has started me on 100mg of Wellbutrin, and it's friggin' amazing! I went 9 hours without a cigarette the other day, and had zero withdrawal symptoms, which is just unbelievable to me.

So my last day as a smoker is this sunday (recommended that I pick a date to quit). As of monday, April 14th, I will be a non-smoker again!!!! Hoo-fuckin-ray!!!! I never, ever thought I could be excited about quitting smoking, but I sincerely am.

3rd Reference:

The 90-day Fitness Challenge is going very well for me - I've lost 5.5 pounds since starting (3 weeks ago?) by eliminating all refined sugar and most of the starch from my diet. For exercise, believe it or not, I alternate between "Core Secrets" one day, and a Tai Chi & upper body Qi Gong routine every other day. The results are going to be spectacular. Everyone will want to nail me. Really.

I also eliminated all caffeine with the exception of the morning joe, which is cool, because I lived on Diet Coke. My sleep has improved 100%, and I'm sure my kidneys appreciate the rest.

So thanks for reading, and for all the words of encouragement I received from you all. I feel fantastic, and I know it's going to keep getting better.

Not if you are going to quit - I'm no enabler!

Damn, and I was so ready for co-dependence.

Once again, you've shown me the light, Turtle.

Good to hear the CAT scan didn't find a furball.

(The wife just called and said she's coming home to show me some kitty fur. What does that mean?)

My recommendation: Pet it until it purrs, and give it a tongue-washing.
