ELLE 2021

Thankyou so much
No Kathy I actually stopped smoking cold turkey, so to spk with nothing, but I have C.O.P.D due to many years smoking and in January 2020 i became very, very poorly with my chest, my family and I wonder whether it was COVID now but at the time the doctors was just associating covid if you’d been to China lately, which I hadn’t, however my boss had been on cruise at Christmas and then all her staff became ill, some worse than others, including me, however as I suffer lung problems I got really poorly, it wasn’t until end of feb before I started to feel anything like normal, January was just a blur. I had my regular check with my respiratory nurse and she said unless I stopped smoking like there and then i would have a 50/50 chance of seeing past 2years apparently my lung function was 47%   and knowing I had a granddaughter due in April I knew I had to do something, even if I could see her for a short while 

It has been the best decision, I feel so well and loving being a Nanna 👵 I know it’s hard for some people to comprehend but unless anyone has smoked they would never know just how hard it is to stop. Oh I did listen to a thing on YouTube though Kathy, it had 5 star reviews and I was very sceptical but I gave it a listen with my headphones in (it was a therapist) so whether that did any good, who knows 
so Kathy, these birds are really testing my will power
