Absolutely Great News to hear you are on the mend and whether you like the choice or not, the quitting the smoking will be the best thing you have ever done for yourself.  I know they (whoever they are) always say to change your habits to help you get over the habit of the smoke, but we wish you could find a way to be sitting here with all of us and not smoke.  Any time you get an urge say so online and we will all get up and e-kick you!  haaa haa.  Keep up the good work.

Welcome back Mark!

It's good to hear that all is going well and things are getting back to normal. Just make sure to ease into everything.

Wishing you all the strength and support for kicking the smoking habit.....I need to snuff out that problem as well! Try sunflower seeds or twizzlers....it seems to ease the tension a little for me.

Keep on postin' Bro, it's good to hear from you

Take care,

Mark

 

Hi Mark,
Thanks for the support. I stopped the day I went in the hospital and have'nt spent a dime for another pack to date, so that's 46 days now. I'm on the patch and have only small urges once in awhile. I'm sure if I could ride this would be a lot easier to do.
  Hope all is well with you and Lynn, and winter isn't beating up on you guys.

Hey Mark,

Had waited until you poked your head in to say you were feeling better so could offer a welcome back instead of anything short of that.  Glad to read you're feeling better and have the worst of it all behind you.  The timing was impeccable though.  You'll be at 100% for the spring riding season  .


Glad to see you back,
Don

Hi Don,
 Thanks for the welcome back. Ya, I am feeling much better, can run up and down stairs again without losing my breath and the fingertips going white. I'm not out of the woods yet (so my doctors keep telling me) they have me under surveillance for the next year. But even in this condition I'm go to go for riding season!!!!!
 How's your bike coming along with the power coated and diamond cutting??

Glad to hear your doing better Mark, I needed to quit last year for several reasons also. You need to pick a date in your mind and do it, I knew I was stronger than those dang things I just needed to believe in myself and follow through, I thought about it and realized I had accomplished much harder things in the past. For me the savior was bubble gum - whenever I got an urge I grabbed the gum - been 4.5 months now, the first three days are the worst! You could try the Nicotine Gum but I chose not too after watching a bud get hooked on that as bad as he was ever hooked on smokes - good luck - were pulling for you

CEEJ,
Best of luck to you on your battle as well!! Damn aint easy.
I'm using the patch for the moment and that seems to be working for me. If that doesn't work when I get to the end of it. I'll have my lips stitched

I spoke to Mark today and he wanted me to let everyone know he's doing better. He has a long road to recovery, but the prognosis is good. He also wanted to apologize for not being on the site himself to thank everyone for their thoughts, and prayers.

Feeling better each day. Started outpatient physical therapy and gaining strength and flexibility back daily. I'm exercising (stretching/flexibility/resistance) twice a day. I can tell things are progressing and my goal is to be back on my bike by spring (hopefully Myrtle Beach Bike Week). I've gone from a walker, crutches, to now just using a cane to get around (all this within 3 weeks of surgery) so I'm really happy. I think I remember you mentioning you were thinking about doing Myrtle this year, and if things work out for me maybe I'll see you there.

 
Ride Safe,

Gary,
I tell you I'm amazed of how fast one can recoup from such a surgery! No doubt at that rate you will be at MB, and yes I am planning on going there this year. I have yet to set up my stay as of yet, I'm still looking for a place to stay. My wife and brother Glenn will be coming to. I'm sure we will be seeing you there as well as many other members.
 You keep it up bro and get back to your old self (Hell!! better than your old self)

Welcome back and its good to see your on the mend. Best of luck to you kickin' the habit. Maybe you could substitute CVOHarley for it everytime you get the urge. (It may be more expensive though )

Good going Man

This winter is really dragging on for us. The last week we had lows of -18 to highs of around +10. Our average temp should be about 31. I can't wait for that! Then I can go out in shorts and a t-shirt....it'll feel like a damn heat wave !!! But I guess I'd rather have those temps than all the snow New York is getting...that's crazy!

Before we know it we'll all be in the wind and all will be good

Take care,

Mark
