Surgery cancelled

[Teric]

I think every time I've tried to give up I've had different symptoms. I've been looking at my posts 2 years ago (prev attempt) I had a terrible cough that eventually went away.

This time I've just had a bad bout of a cold that went on for weeks. It developed into a wrenching cough but it's getting better now. Just phlegm now.

Whilst I had the cold I was due to have an operation. Turned up at the hospital, had my premeds, wheeled down to theatre, needle going in hand .. And then I started coughing. Anaesthetist then said this is not happening today.

I got the "are you a smoker" & "how many do you smoke".

That did it for me.

Wow, what a let down.

So I've had to cancel again since then as the cough lingered.

Now due to go again on 9th, but at least I can say I'm a non smoker.

Sorry for rambling on, just trying to take my mind off the fags. Mornings are my worst.

Day 6 today. Everyday it gets easier, that's what I tell myself.

You get going with ramblings...Ramble away, All day - If it keeps you Away from the lethal cig. Take the power out of the addiction and feel good in setting yourself Free...ramble, ramble, to smoke is a gamble..there's folk on here who know so, share so ~ But never turn back to smoke though! Conspire, stay close to the NOPE family who Inspire, to never turn to the habit again. Cause it ain't a game to act insane and smoke yourself to an early grave. This is real, the true deal, the choice is ours & today we choose NOPE not simply to Cope but leap and embrace Change, cause this life is worth livin-And to get it we start givin'...this ramble is close to end, glad to hear of your 6 days, now the body & mind mend..Keep goin', keep goin' my friend :O)

Hi teric

Found you

I must say my main problem is coughing.coughing so much I have acid .horrible that gipping

.its weird how it comes and goes.sometimes 6-7 times a day I get a "attack" but then 1 or 2 times a day.

I'm on outskirts of COPD.one of my reasons for stoping.

Anyway.

Take care

Keep kicking 😃

I've had a bit of coughing this time but last time I gave up my cough was horrendous and went on for weeks. I ended up going to the doctors who said its because I'd stopped smoking. However, I came away with antibiotics and they really sorted it out.

So if you are worried about it get it checked out.

Take care
