(53,661 posts)23. My brother and BNL are both life-long smokers. They both came down with a condition.
It paralyzed them both from the neck down. It required surgery, being put under for an extended amount of time in the hospital afterwards.
My brother took that opportunity to quit. Unfortunately, my BNL went straight back to smoking. My brother is doing well. My BNL is not. Neither wife smoked.
