RE: [Beurgers Disease] (unknown)

Anne and Julie;

I was dx's with Buergers Disease in 1967. I developed
gangrene in my left index finger while in RSVN in
1966.
I came home in 67 and developed gangrene in both hands
and feet.

I lost a few toes and quit smoking in 72. The diseased
toes were later amputated and finally I lost the front
of both feet. I have a small toe on the left foot and
a big toe on the right foot.

We have the right to decide what we want to do! Having
Buergers Disease will kill you if you continue to use
tobacco! Your fingers or toes will die while you are
alive. I know because it happened to me.

I will pray to my God, as I know Him, for you.

gdoc
