Hello TamsMy,
well done on your progress,
not good about you not being well, but could you imagine the work out your lungs would be getting if you were still a smoker.
I would presume you are under Drs care regarding your Lung infection..
When we give up smoking, our bodies go through a major transitions in trying to right it self after we have well n truely abused it over the years.
One of the biggest notables that i have noticed with myself since quitting is, no more hacking cough, that was with me 24/7...i think i lost the cough about 6 weeks after quitting.
Keep up your great progress.
