My story ....or our story.... Smoking done its deed ,with hubby and myself...he lives with end stage emphysema... He's now housebound and needs full time care...fighting to breath...this has lead to depression ,anxiety and panic attacks..he depends on me for everything.even bathroom duties...he is frightened knowing its a progressive illness..very sad . I faced having my two feet amputated ,if I didn't quit right away..even then there was a chance it was too late for me.. Thankfully it was successful... Smoking effects different parts of the body..I thought because my lungs were OK..nothing was wrong... It wasn't until I couldn't ignore something was dreadfully wrong with my circulation ,I seeked help.. Now we are at the age when we should be enjoying our retirement,like we imagined..we cannot do any of the things we would have enjoyed... If anyone who has not quit reads this..quit now ...we didn't think this would happen to us either..
