I've been absent from the forums for a couple months due to my own stupidity of going back to analogs. My husband retired back in June and we moved to a warmer climate in Alberta in August. It became too much pain in the backside to worry about filling tanks, charging batteries, so forth and so on, so I went to the store bought a couple of cartons and let my equipment collect dust.
Fast forward to the middle of September. Only living in our brand new house for just over a month, I developed pneumonia. I couldn't smoke because of the illness but by the end of October I was back in full swing again... again, not looking at any of my vape equipment and only dealing with analogs.
New year, new problems arise. Once again, I found myself sick. Analogs again, made me feel sicker so I was off them once more. 2 weeks of sickness sent me to the family doctor who thought it was simply the flu. Another week passes and I'm still sick! On January 25th (my birthday I might add) my husband after having a night with fever so high he couldn't even touch me, took me to emergency. 3 hours later I'm admitted with pneumonia again but this time complicated by a lung infection. A few more tests later they tell me, in addition to the pneumonia and lung infection I also have a tumor on my right lung!
By now I had cold turkey'd myself off analogs completely due to the fever and constant sleeping. (Great and easy way to quit but one I wouldn't recommend!) Just under 2 weeks of hospital food and boredom later, the biopsy results along with every other test come in. By the grace of God, the tumor was not cancer.
I'm telling you now, the moment the doctor said tumor and lung in the same sentence, life took on a whole new meaning.
I had quit before, 30some years ago, but went back to analogs and was scared to death I'd hit the same hurdle as before, falling back into the old habit. About 3-4 weeks ago, that old familiar craving came back. I'm not sure if it's me or the fact that my husband, despite the C scare, still smokes his analog pipe, either way it was back.
So I dusted off my vape equipment and went back to vaping A few of our retailers have gotten some recent orders from me because my old equipment wouldn't take a charge due to lack of use.
I've managed to convince my husband to try the e-pipe now too!
I have been totally smoke free now since the first week of Jan, and using my PV exclusively without any fall back this time.
The moral of this story is... Don't wait until a doctor tells you, that you have a tumor to go 100% vape like I did, do it now and save yourself the fear and scare!
