For those of you who emailed or wished me well, many many many thanks.
Im very touched by the concern of everyone. Its good to know Im
either well liked, or for those who dont, they didnt want a thread
opponent to disappear G

Snibbles .....G

very warm feeling.

Morphine buzz... ^_^

But I am sincerely glad to hear you dodged the bullet! Take care of
yourself, practice shooting to help stifle the cravings for cigarettes,
and understand that your wife is just as rattled by this as you are,
and will be VERY concerned about you for a while. If she watches over
you too much for your liking, just accept it as another part of the
recovery process..

Good luck AND good health!
