You got that right!!! I feel somewhat "protected" now, so to speak!!!
> how did you fall down stairs?!I was on some major pain killers.. got up in the middle of the night... don't remember what I desperately needed at the time of the morning downstairs... but that was it.

> does it make you feel better to have an advocate, someone who can really hold your hand and help you through all of this? i would imagine that in the condition you're in, it is difficult to advocate for yourself.It is so awesome to feel like I have someone on my side. Some one who cares, and understands. You stated it perfectly.
> (my mom gets the magazine *rosie* in the mail and i browsed it the other day--this last issue is devoted to breast cancer patients, and i know you didn't have cancer, but there's a rilly righteous photo of a bunch of women sitting together topless with only one breast or none--you might check it out)
Actually.... I had breast cancer originaly... that's how this all started. It was benign, the tumor removed, and the cloth left inside. I'll have to look for the mag........> are you feeling any better about not smoking? i caved in 2 nights ago while drinking with my new cutie neighbor who happens to smoke my former brand! but i just had one. 5 cigs in nearly 3 weeks, hell that aint bad, i'd normally smoke that many in 4 or 5 hours! i'm feeling really good about having quit, 'tho there's nothing i'd like more than to go outside and light one up!
Don't worry about the cave. Your thinking right.. think of all you would have smoked in that time. Your doing great!!!!!!
I'm doing ok.... still tough times at work..... everyone I hang with smokes. (one thing or another).... I feel ok at home......
Im glad your doing good!!!!!!!!!
> hope you are well.

> sarThanks Sar.... I too, hope the same for you. I'm very glad to have "met" you.... I know, sounds sappy.... I'm in a sappy mood.
