I am a 58 year old smoker who has made many mistakes in life but is trying to get things right. I have just been diagnosed with congestive heart failure after being diagnosed with pneumonia one week before. I spent a week in the hospital and could not spend Thanksgiving Day with my family. I had two clogged arteries and had to get two stents in my heart. I haven't smoked a cigarette in nine days. It has been hard but my health is more important to me now. I realized the effect my lifestyle was having on my body. I am ready to change my life for the better. I have three grandchildren I have yet to see two of them graduate high school. I realized how important I am to them and how much it will mean to them for me to be able to come to their graduation. I wont live to see that day if I dont chenge my life. I have 6 or 7 prescriptions that I have to pay for with no job. It is a miracle that I am able to get my medicine every month. I often have to choose between this or that prescription. I just really do not wat to worry my family or myself anymore.
