     Hi Frank, don't worry about laughing it humored me also that's why 
I posted it. AT the time it was just a matter of getting a cigarette but 
after I saw the reaction of my doctor and everyone else I could aw a 
mental picture of what I looked like and just cracked myself up. I have 
a very warped and well image ladden sense of humor. Yes, I am very glad 
that the newer techniques have come in. That was a test that I would not 
wish on my worst enemy. After I had my cigarette and about a half hour 
after the noncompleted test I went into complete cardiac arrest and 
flatlined for a while. That was scarry, I woke up in the ICU unit having 
no idea of what had even happend. The thing that drove me crazy about 
that is that the idiots tell you that you had flatlined and that they 
have a monitors on you to watch out case it happens again. So you can 
now just lay there in bed and listen to the stupid monitor beep waiting 
to pick up any missed or irregular beeps. Nothing like setting you up to 
work yourself into a coronar
       Cigarrettes work like a pacifier and a painkiller for me. I don't 
do it as heavy as 3packs aday, but I guess some would consider just 
under a pack a day heavy. When I feel so rotten that I just don't know 
what to do, a cigarrette tastes good, and gives me something else to 
concentrate on. I have to really concentrate to hold a cigarrette so 
that I don't drop it and that keeps my mind temp occupied. Well I'm 
pushing line time so I'll say till later....
