week 3

[nsd_user663_1649]

Hi everyone cant believe its 3 weeks i thought it was only 2 weeks (must be the amount of painkillers i'm on ).I feel really positive and when i had my pre-op last week she asked if i smoked and i said no it felt great, i had to have an ECG which was perfect and my blood pressure was that of a 20 yr old (i'm 33yrs old)i am still terrified of the operation and have severe pain but having a cigarette isnt going to change any of that .hope everyone is ok claire x

Quoted for truth...

Well done Claire - I wish you all the best for the operation, and as for the not smoking bit - it seems like you already have your head in the right place.

The only things to remember are...

1) Why people smoke (I'll give you a clue, it isn't enjoyment or to relax or to concentrate).

2) That cigarettes do nothing for you. I don't mean that the disadvantages outweigh the advantages... there are NO advantages (Unless of course you enjoy paying a fortune to poison yourself and feel like a social leper).

Well done again.

Thanks the support really helps especially when i'm so down at the moment and can't do anything other than sit for short periods of time at computer ( one of the things i'm not allowed to do is sit impossible !!!)or lie in bed claire x
