Ah well...

Just goes to show you never know what the day will turn up.

Had a chest Xray two weeks ago, thought it was okay. But call from Doc today was a bit of a bummer. I have to go for a CAT Scan, Hum, it's probably fine - but does make you wonder if there's something up... I hope not.

I'm not one for panicking thank goodness, but it does sort of play with my head. I'll just have to wait and see, though with my patience record, it's going to be an effort.

However, I am on day 9 not smoking, though I have thought about a cigarette. Probably because I can't find my wall charger for the ECig I've been using. Have sent away for another one which will take a day or two to arrive no doubt. I've tried charging it on my computer, but it's not taking a charge. I'll have to manage with the chewing gum meanwhile.

What a frustrating day!

Hope everyone has had a manageable day, and added yet another day to their new non smoking life' Onwards we go!

Night everyone,

Gill,xx

Hope everything will be OK Gill, best wishes to you! It's good that your'e not smoking

buy another ecig till your charger turns up! You can get a disposable one for around £6!

All the best

Morning Gill

Hope you got some sleep, and ready to start a new day, it should be a sunny one later. Very sorry you got this worry, they come out of the blue, last thing you need. Try and keep your mind off it, keep busy on the small important stuff.

That ciggy charger problem.. I've noticed them selling the ecigs in the paper shop and the local garage here - are they any good as a standdby? Guess they're less sophisticated? I'm on patches and inhalator, so don't know much about ecigs.

You've done amazing getting to day 9! 'eep it up! I'm easing my way into day 3, not my first quit, but it might as well be.

Hope the day goes well, and you keep the worries and the fags at bay.

Morning Betts, Thanks for message. Yeah, I got a few hours sleep. Not great at sleeping anyway. Ecigs are ok for a quick passifier. They can take the edge off, if u really miss the inhaling part. Better than nothing. Get a rechargeable one though & a wall charger. Gill,

[Betts]

Thanks, Gill. You don't know till you've tried these things.

Just now I am going to pacify myself with a bit of hot brekkie :). And a lovely hot coffee - the sun might be coming, but it's a bit nippy here, and I need warming up :).

Wishing you a good day

Good to hear from you Sue, yes trying not to think to far ahead, but have to go for blood tests Friday, before I get an appointment for Scan apparently. Still, day 10 for me now. You're 10 day's ahead I think... hope you're really pleased with that. It sure ain't easy. Get well and strong

Gill, xx

[simba196 18 Months Winner]

Just looked back at post Day 9 on 25th March so we are Day 19 suecx

[dawlol 18 Months Winner]

Thought it was longer...lol! 3 weeks on Monday then! xxx

[EmJay Partner]

Hey Gill, lets just get you to Friday, wait for the results and take it from there. At least you have some control in maintaining a smoke-free lifestyle. Stopping smoking is the best thing for you to have done and regardless of the outcome of your test results, this will have a huge impact on your health on a positive level We are all behind you 110%

If you could all just have a look at the 'Wall of Winners' and comment on their if I haven't got your quit date and name up. You all deserve to be recognised!

[simba196 18 Months Winner]

Dawn seems a lot longer struggling at moment. Doesn't help has hubby has cigs in house suecx

[dawlol 18 Months Winner]

I know it's hard, have you tried the ecig - that's what I do when I'm struggling!

Keep going love, it will all be worth it in the end!

Thinking of you!

Ah John, thanks very much for that, It helps a lot. Could be something like that, as I've had 4 bouts of bad Bronchitis in less than 2 years. I hope it's something like that. I feel a bit more objective now. Hope you're doing fine. Stay safe & well. Night, Gill.

[EmJay Partner]

Hey Gillyflower,

just wanted to send you positive vibes for your blood tests today Stay positive and remember that othe sooner you have your bloods taken, the sooner they can send them off and get the results back, your scan appointment will be on its way and then you'll know where you're up to

[Hidden]

Thanks EmJay. Day 11 & feeling okay. Got small E cig

So, not wanting any rollups at all. Weather's picking up a bit too - it all helps! Stay safe & well. Gill. xx
