G’day all Thanks heaps for all your best wishes... I’m not just saying this it’s really raised my spirits. Ive got some colour in my cheaks it’s really noticable how good you feel with a head full of oxygenated blood! Managed to get the yellow iodine out of the beard and its back to a proper silver again. As for the bad trim, it will grow in time. Spiritually, it’s knocked me around a bit more than I care to admit. Over the last 8 years I’ve been operated on for 2 major injuries, I’m a 2 1/2 year cancer surviver but this has been the hardest. I think it’s coming back from being semi paralysed down one side with a foggy head that scares you. As for not smoking. My doc said great, even a recient non smoker, he could work with that. Being a 3 year non smoking better still once those carotid arteries are clear they’ll stay that way. As for my heart trust me they have had a captive patient and every test shows those arteries are clear. My medication is one low dose aspirin and one statin per day. Don’t know if that will change when the other side is unblocked. Back to just a couple of days work next week, ill ease back into it..... Really pray that no one has to go through this. It’s no fun, if never wish it on anyone.... just read about it... trust me Chris

G'day I Don't have a memory of the last cig I smoked but I'm clear about the first one I resisted. It's was Saturday 10th October 2015 08:30. ( yes I know there was a mixup with the dates what a party!) I took that cig and drowned it with with a few of its brothers and sisters in thier pack in the kitchen. The spare pack from the car got the same treatment. No keeping a few back it was on! I took my sweetheart to a movie to keep myself busy. Four days later she fronted me and said" You smell nice, have you given up smoking! ......I could not have been prouder! 3 years now of sweet freedom. I don't think about smoking anymore. I front up every day and shout my pledge to the waking world... NOPE! its a Sweet Shout of Freedom. Im a slave no longer. Chris

G'day Got rid of the drips and drains. Drugs out of the system so it's safe to say something now. Got a cracker of a scar running up one side of my neck. Kinda looking foward to getting the matching one on the right. Gunna tell everyone that I got bit buy a shark. I got away before he could close its mouth...... Can't let truth get in the way of a good story... C

... YOU STICK ! I'm layed I in hospital, have been since Sunday, having tests. I had a TIA, in short a mini stroke. Came on fast and left me without any lasting damage ( thank God). Still have to have the carotid arteries cleared in an OP on Thursday as they are blocked. And the cause. I miss out on the high blood pressure, bad diet unfit etc, and manage to tick two boxes Male and you guessed it .....an ex smoker! Damn it.... but I'm over it now.... I'm of for the OP on Thursday. So I might be missing in action for a few days. Chris
