I just have to celebrate for a second! I never in a million years would have imagined being here at this amount of time, and it's amazing! I couldn't have done it without the support and help on the forum so I wanted to say Thank You ALL for being so welcoming, friendly, helpful, and knowlegeable! I am SO grateful!
For newcomers, if you follow the advice of really seasoned members on the forum, you will find yourself succeeding! I would have failed the first day if I hadn't gone... Hmm... something isn't working... And found this forum. I am truly grateful and can't even believe this day came! I already feel insanely better healthwise and yesterday I was busily talking to my favorite brother on the phone, and telling him how great I felt, how fantastic it was, and how I could SING again! He's a musician, I was for awhile, but I do like to sing and am enjoying the guitar more than the violin... In fact, he and I agreed to resume guitar lessons via skype, so I'm really excited
Monday will be a big test, oral surgery was moved to then. It's really... ominous when the receptionist calls and says, "So, the periodontist has reviewed your records and decided we need more than 2 hours, can we move you to Monday?" Yikes (I'm doing it awake). Maybe he'll let me vape through my nose, halfway through, LOL, though I doubt it. I'm all prepared though, I got nicotine patches, a ton of advil, and I plan to just.... Pass out a lot, afterward. And, vape Nose to Lung.
But YAY and THANK YOU, ECF! You guys are the best. Really. Thank you.
