Just saw this thread....good luck with the op. I'm sure you will be fine, you looked fighting fight last time I saw you

I am still trying to get over that PILE of dodgers...mind you, I suppose that is inflation for you. Last time I was scared of the docs I got just the one lollypop

Tam the bam

Seriously bud you don't want to go through the **** I am at the mo, don't get me wrong I love smoking, no doubt it's just cos I'm addicted to it Personally now I think if the Government really had the populations health at heart they would ban them outright, but they'd need to get the millions on tax they earn from them elsewhere, no doubt us motorists

Soon the Gov will stop treating smokers on the NHS as it's self inflicted, regardless of the millions smokers have paid to them in tax as the NHS have too many alkies, dole spongers and illegal immigrants to support now, funny thing is none of them have ever nor will ever pay any of it back

I'm gibbering now, anyone fancy a Tammy dodger?

I do hun , but can I ask, was this definately caused by smoking, just out of curiosity.

Sonic'

I know mate

I am suffering from that man flu at the moment so have cut down quite a lot, and now 2 of the kids have got man flu too, with the 3rd about to come down with it

They have it worse than me, but I am more ill cos im a bloke

Seriously though I know what you mean, the government will never ban them, until they find another way of making the billions a year that will lose from the revenue

It amazes me at the local hospital, they have massive signs up on the doors outside about how smoking is banned and how especially dangerous it is to all the unborn babies, and to NOT smoke in the immediate areas, the irony of it is, the only smokers I have seen stood outside the hospital are all the pregnant women off the wards

Tam the bam

Cheers Loomy, I'm fine, feel fine, I just sound like a silent fart when I speak lol

Mmmmmmmmm Dodgers, I'm off for another packet, YUM!!!

Tam the bam

I don't know for sure and tbh I don't know if I ever will, but I'm sure it's contributed to it if it isn't the actual cause... I work as a flooring contractor (not domestic flooring but industrial) and have had to work with some mental adhesives (many of which are banned due to their content now) which could be be blamed, I really dunno BUT my Gran died of throat cancer when I was 5, my Dad kept saying to me 'Your voice sounds like my mothers in her latter years, so I am gonna quit the cigs.

I'm babbeling on again

Tam the bam

That is so true, I saw folks out in the hospital garden whilst their babies were in ITU (due to their parents smoking/drinking) smoking away like there is no tomorrow

Oh and just for the record I never smoke in the house or the car, in fact my kids never knew I even smoked till a few months ago.

Please Tam do me a favour, stop smoking mate. Do it today.
Please let us know how you get on, I hope it all turns out right for you. I WILL be thinking about you good luck. One or two of us on here have been in a similar situation so we know how you feel.....
STEVE.......................

girl-in-a-scoob

Good luck Tam....

Everybody is thinking of you...

Well done with the cutting down, got an Aunt going through the exact same thing at the moment.

Ive had a fair few ops in the last 3 years (6 all under general ) when i go in I have gas first as I have a needle phobia, just breathe through this mask......


Good luck

In all honesty Tam, you probably don't really enjoy smoking that much - i used to use that argument, but now I'm a non smoker it doesn't make sense anymore.

Get yourself on the NHS quit smoking thing, get on patches for 16-20 weeks then be happy knowing you should live longer.

My folks still smoke 40 a day (in house and car) which is causing huge problems for me at the minute due to my 6 month old lad and me not wanting him to be near them cos they stink

Just give it up, you don't really need to smoke.

I was really worried about going under before I had my tonsils out. As it turned out, it was quite a serene experience. My morphine probably helped

If the biopsy shows something bad, you'll know within a few days at the most.

Good luck.

Tam the bam

Today I've been an ****, I was offered free hospitality at the football, I turned it down and instead sat in the house getting pished on my own I should be with my friends right now, why do I feel the need to shut the world out??

Dunno, but it is what people do when they need people most imo. I did it when I started to be ill and managed to loose touch with some of my best mates. I and they have all since moved, changed mobile numbers and emails...bugger!!

Fight it, force yourself to go out and stay in touch. If you are in a bit of a ****ty mood, just let them know

Tam the bam

I'm trying to fight it Loomy, but it aint working bud

Hi Tam, I am trying to give up smoking and have not had one for 10 days. I previously smoked upto 25g of Samson per day.
The doctor has prescribed me "Champix" and so far, I am managing really well.
The link below is very informative.

Best of luck

Mike

Champix (varenicline)

Tam the bam

Thank you, I'll have a look in to that as I'm going to need something, giving up without patches etc isn't working too well.

LMAO at Emm

OMG, I nearly spat my tea over my monitor when I saw that. You were only meant to squash the negativity out of him, not his whole life force PMSL.

Oi Tam!!

Hope everything goes well on Friday - you haven't been trying out on the X factor, have you? snagged from the net..

'People who use their voices a great deal, such as professional singers, teachers, auctioneers, lecturers, and members of the clergy, are prone to have nodules on their vocal cords. Like polyps, nodules may develop as a result of excessive use of the voice. A nodule differs from a polyp in that it is a growth of the epithelium that covers the mucous membrane, not of the mucous membrane itself. Thus, it has a structural resemblance to a corn on a toe or a callus on the hand. If one has vocal cord nodules, the voice will become breathy and hoarse. Polyps are lesions that develop from voice abuse, chronic laryngeal allergic reactions and chronic inhalation of irritants, such as industrial fumes and cigarette smoke.'

I hopeyou don't intend to eat all those jammies by yourself...
