Miner, use RAMI as a role model....well, maybe not completely...;)...but certainly for how well he's turned his health around....quitting the smoking and coming back from the brink.
It's possible, as RAMI has proven...it just takes a serious lifestyle change and a long term commitment.

You're not dead until you're dead.
Don't let this shit get you down so you give up too soon. As the saying goes...dying is easy, living is the hard part.

Rami, my Dad had quintuple open heart surgery in '01, & the thing that got to me with that is how painful it was for him to heal up afterward. I know if I need the surgery to do it man, again, just the thought of my breastbone being sawed in half just gives me shudders...

The THOUGHT of it still gives me shudders, too. But everyone's different. I can say for sure that I felt no pain afterwards. I still have the pain killers they prescribed me sealed and sitting on my counter. Never touched them, never needed them. You're younger than your Dad, too.

I'm not saying it's pleasant, but most of the pain is mental and emotional. A lot of people go through severe depression and major anger/resentment. There's even a condition for post-op heart patients called "Pump Head". In my case, I had no depression, and the only "anger" I might have had was more from the nicotine withdrawal than anything else. Anyway, point is, everyone's different. Your Dad felt a lot of pain, I didn't.

All the best and if you ever need to talk, get in touch with me, brother.

Some true shit right there. Except for the "well, maybe not completely.." part. :eek: :D
 
I had a life changing experience myself back in 2000. It's not nearly as heavy duty as you guys, not even close, but it got me straight. Long story short....I'd burned my right arm real bad from the hand to the shoulder in a tire explosion. It was bad. My skin was just hanging off my arm like wet toilet paper. Total charred hamburger. Anyway, after two months of excruciating daily skin scrapes, infections, and cleaning at the hospital, I'd healed about 6 months faster than the doctors had expected I would. And what was even better - no scarring. My arm healed properly from the inside out so I wasn't left with any of that Freddy Krueger skin. So the docs kept telling me how lucky I am that my recovery system is as good as it is, especially considering all the partying I was doing and living on the road with no sleep. So I thought, "damn, if I'm this healthy while not living healthy at all, I'd be fucking Superman if I did actually live healthy". So right then and there I quit EVERYTHING. And now I am Superman.

Holy shit man. Thank goodness you healed from that. Sometimes it takes something like that to make changes.

Hehe...calm down, little girl. You'll get your knickers wet. :)
 
Ooooh....That hurt. I don't know if I'll be able to recover from such a stinging rebuttal. :laughings: My god, you do have a brain cell after all. :D

Hey, RAMI - being good at recording is no excuse for being a shit human being and a complete tosser. Recover from that. Goodnight.

Says the loser who threw out the first smart-ass remark. He can dish it out but he can't take it. Poor baby.:(

Hehe....Look at Bubba trying to suck ME into a battle of wits with HIM. Unfortunately, he's out of his league....and he's un-armed. :laughings:

See ya. :)
 
Hey, RAMI - why would I bother asking RFR about the spat you never had, when the mods cover up every retarded tantrum you ever have on this forum? :D

HAHA! That doesn't even make sense. We've all seen your melt downs. Get your foot out of your mouth. :D

It makes sense when you read the negative reputation comments you give me. The last refuge of a complete shit of a person. :)

Yeah, only shit people give neg rep, right? Hehe...You just keep getting stupider by the post. :laughings:

This is boring now......Next time you you want to be a smart-ass, don't turn into a whiner when you get it back. How can that not be embarrassing for you? :eek:

Have a great night. :)
 
RAMI, you're the definition, the archetype, the PARAGON of stupid. You don't have the intelligence to be a smart-ass. You have "whiner" covered, though. Congratulations. :)

By the way, you can give neg rep all you like - knock yourself out.

I don't know brother, you seem like a pretty cool guy and all. Not sure what is up with your demeanor these days. I hope everything is cool on your end. Life can beat the shit out of us ... Hope all is well.
