I had major abdominal surgery in June 08...because i had a large cut my cat couldn't sleep on my tum anymore, she took up residence on a nightly basis on my midriff or chest :rolleyes:
I woke up a few weeks ago and told my other half to shift the cat cos the cat was making it hard for me to breathe. He told me she wasn't on my chest!
It really made me realise what smoking was doing to me and the effect it was having on my breathing.....
I had the breath carbon test at the docs on the 17th Oct and it read 48...the average for a non smoker is 5 or under. I went back to the docs 20th Oct and my reading was 3...my chest feels great and breathing is so much easier....
That's why i quit

Well done VF you are doing great.
It must have been quite a shock that, great to hear you are feeling the benefits already.
