Thank you all I am gonna walk out of this place under my own power. Newest update wentto the er Saturday 102 temp and my o2 sats were 85-89 wo o2 assist. So o2 and iv antibiotics. Throughout these past days I been spiking fevers as high as 103. An adult at 103 hurts like hell when they break not to mention you sweat like hell drench the bed and got to change all the linen. I have double lung pneumonia and its not wanting to get w the program. I will not quit there will be a bag waiting for me before I give up.

Hey trauma all the prayers are being heard my friend. You fight not only for yourself but for all of us and mostly for your family. When I had a heart attack I felt really sorry for myself. Just like the addict dipper I was, I was being selfish. Everytime I looked in my kid's and grandkids eyes there was strength and I realized I was going to take advantage of every day, minute , second and not waste any precious time. I listened to the doctors but mostly I listened to my heart and realized there's only one who knows when I will be leaving. You truly inspire me both emotionally and spiritually and I am no longer afraid to go when it's my time. I pray for you daily and will continue! God bless you and remember he's the time keeper.

Today is Monday, March 23rd...
Trauma is heading into surgery early this am to deal with the intestinal cancer he was diagnosed with on the 13th of this month. The VA isn't wasting anytime in dealing with it.

As a community of chewing tobacco addicts, it seems as if our biggest concerns usually center around cancers of the mouth/throat etc. Rightly so... That was the part of the body we abused most! However... It needs to be mentioned that T's intestinal issue is pro'ly directly related to the fact that he never spit when he dipped... He gutted it. Boys and girls... This addiction infects so many facets of our bodies and minds. There is a price to pay and sometimes it's going to be pretty damn steep.

Do everything you can to be free. It IS within your power to quit and stay that way.

Heartfelt and freely given... Prayers and good vibes to our brother and his fight!

I know I'm digging up an ancient post here . . but I thought I'd share what my doctor told me. I thought I was having heart issues, turned out to be gastro related. This was after I'd quit, and I protested that I didn't swallow it . . he said: "oh yes you did."

So, whether we "gutted" it or not, we were consuming it. Maybe in smaller amounts.

Thank you, Trauma, for sharing your journey. And frick cancer.

Trauma/Todd,

I'm brand new here and read every single post in this thread. You are a true winner, survivor and quitter. My quit is dedicated to you, and you can relish in the fact that you personally helped yet another person have a better life.

From today, you have another person in your corner rooting for you - all the way over in far-away Israel!

Just digging deep this last 7 days has been a mf but i am kickiin ass again. I cant say its been easy if I was alone I would have quit. The support of family,friends and my KTC family always gets me over the hump. It's also easy to lose your way when all the changes in direction start adding up but I appear to get a boost surprise text when stuff gets tough. I am in the chair today getting my chemo on rolling w my brother and sisters. Thank you all.
