6 months:)))

[nsd_user663_51711]

Blimey. I've made it to six months. Go me

I have to say it's been easier than I thought it would be, so am now wondering why I waited so long to give this quit a go. My thinking was so out of kilter with reality.

Now I just have to remove this stone in weight which seems to have mostly settled around my mid section. Deep, deep gloom. I know losing this weight will be harder to do....

Excellent

Well done Becky! SOOOO pleased for you 6 months is brilliant! That has gone fast too.... you are right, dont know where the time goes. Excellent job knew you would do it!

Half a year, that's bloomin marvelous, well done you!'n

[nsd_user663_44570]

Wow-wee!

Fantastic news, Becky!

Don't worry about the extra weight, I bet it won't be hard to lose it. You've stopped smoking after all! if you can do that, you can do anything!

Well done

Thanks Haze. Funny day I've had today, one way and another full of sad memories of another anniversary.

Then out of the blue the most horrible ear pain. Thought I had burst my ear drum, but it kept on over and over, so it's not a burst eardrum. No pain now, but wonder of wonders, after an op a year ago to clear up diseased bone and put in a new little metal bone and which we, surgeon and I, had established had not worked, I can hear again!!! And bloody hell everything is so loud.

Thanks Kazzy and Shoegal. Just amazing how the time flies. Keep going everyone it's so worth it. xx

Max, you are right. I did not. I had so many excuses why I shouldn't/ couldn't/ wouldn't. They were all pathetic I might add. x

[nsd_user663_54940]

Woo-hoo! 6 months!

That's fantastic Becky! Both the 6 month quit and your hearing coming back!

I wouldn't worry too much about the extra weight - exercise should be easier and more efficient now that you've quit, so I bet it's easier than you think it'll be (that's what I'm hoping anyway cos I've got about 3 stone to shift! lol)

Oh my god! That is amazing! Sorry for the sad memories of another anniversary Becky

Hope you soon get used to being able to hear again. That must feel really strange!

Thanks Fi, love. I am chuffed with meself

Haze it was amazing. I had accepted that the transplant thing had not worked after a year of having it done and several hearing tests. The surgeon has offered me another go, which I am thinking about. I almost jumped out of my skin - first with the excruciating pain as I leaned down to get my phone, and then with the noise which was even louder when I put my hearing aid in. I had to go to doc's today tho. I thought that pain meant the eardrum had burst and when that happens I get relief, but the pain carried on this time. I haven't burst the drum, but have a massive infection so am on antibiotics. Maybe my hearing will fade away again when the infection is controlled. Will just have to wait and see. xxx
