I almost had a cat scan today

I'd ask for it. I like surprises, but not that way.

Lucily I have had scans for other reasons, but I smoked for 8 years and quit 44 years ago.

I had a ct scan in August.

I quit smoking 13 years ago next Tuesday.

Funny how (all of us) ex-smokers remember the day, isn't it?

May 23, 1986 for me.

Wow. Mine was St. Patrick’s day that year.

I did a vascular ultrasound last year for no particular reason other than to wonder if my diet had to change for the last decades. Thankfully exercise had been more than offsetting.

I almost didn’t do it.

I figure when I’m 90 I’ll start. Get in ten pack years and quit at 100.

That has been my plan too.
