I 've Been  Sick!
http://www.movermike.com/posts/1172777966.shtml


   I have been so sick with a sinus infection and then bronchitis and
   situational asthma since Jan. 15th that I'll spend a little time at
   the computer before I start coughing my lungs out. I just haven't had
   much heart for blogging. This may be the best day I've had. The kids
   on the bus and I all just hacked out way to school and back, through
   the rain and snow. My wife says it has been like her partner was
   missing.

   I smoked from the time I was 18 until I was 47. It has been 16 years
   since I had my last cigarette. I have been extremely lucky that those
   cigarettes didn't do me harm aside from some diminished lung capacity.
   Let me tell you, when I started coughing, sometimes it was as if my
   lungs went into defib and no air went in or out. I struggled to start
   breathing again. How terror-filled one's life must be to have
   emphasema and suffer through those kinds of times That's why I thanked
   God that I had found the power to quit. I have always like that
   commercial, the one that goes "The power to Calm, the power to
   Comfort, the power to help you quit, successfully. Nicotine CQ!"

   If you still smoke, you know it's not good for you. Find a way to
   quit.
