I almost had a cat scan today
-
I had the annual physical today. The doctor mentioned that if you are 55 to 80 years old and smoked for 30 years you get a cat scan to check for cancer.
I thought, great, I wondered what that might show.
But then he remembered that if it has been more than 15 years since you smoked you don't get it. I guess they figure if you made it more than 15 years you are probably OK.
They got my hopes up for a little while.

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

That has been my plan too.
