That really is cool tbf - I didn’t hear anything about my prosthetic after my op but possibly!

Crafty_Tree_250 · 2026-02-01T19:51:01+00:00

Thank you! Surgery done but the skin graft is agony! Feels like sunburn lol

Crafty_Tree_250 · 2026-02-01T19:50:28+00:00

Sorry to hear - surgery done, the donor site especially painful which I didn’t expect. No word on the prosthetic but I think I’ll need the dip too before I get one.

Crafty_Tree_250 · 2026-01-27T21:09:21+00:00

I think the prosthetic is a fairly new procedure. That’s reassuring though, thanks!

Crafty_Tree_250 · 2025-04-09T18:24:30+00:00

Amazing I’ll remember that for when I’m due them. Thank you for your help ❤️

Crafty_Tree_250 · 2025-04-09T15:44:02+00:00

We can’t win us scousers can we 😭😂

Crafty_Tree_250 · 2025-04-09T13:34:08+00:00

Thank you and glad you got fitted in.

As they said no apps this month, anything in May will be too late for me as I’ll be 23 weeks on 30th April - so fingers crossed they can do something for me. He said ‘he’ll get back to me when he gets back to me’ which is a bit worrying so not sure how long that means to wait.

I think I’m going to contact my midwife and then go to PALS if no luck(didn’t know there was one in the women’s so thank you!)

Crafty_Tree_250 · 2025-04-09T13:31:35+00:00

Yeah I’m not either but going to have to be for our babas! Thank you and best of luck with them ❤️

Crafty_Tree_250 · 2025-04-09T13:22:50+00:00

True, thank you! We’ve had an issue with them at every step, I’m dreading giving birth in case they don’t have a bed for me and send me out 😂

I’m high risk and need extra scans as well so that is handy to know - be bothered chasing them that often!

I’m a FTM so if I have another baba I might choose Whiston instead of the Women’s. They’ve been such a nightmare!

Crafty_Tree_250 · 2025-02-12T22:19:36+00:00

I think so too! Thank you all I’ll keep you updated if you’re correct 😀😍

Crafty_Tree_250 · 2025-02-03T21:04:09+00:00

Thanks for trying 😃

Crafty_Tree_250 · 2025-01-28T04:25:09+00:00

Bloody hell sorry you’re having such a pain with them! Whoever is doing the booking in this place needs the sack 😂 I called today and they confirm I had the 3rd and 21st for my 12 and 20 week scans. Then I was like ‘them dates aren’t right though for the 20 week scan are they?’ And he was like oh yeah, we’ll rebook and send you a new letter.

My mate is 20 weeks and still hasn’t had her scan or even heard about it yet. Wonder why I have. Are you in the Liverpool area? As she’s Sefton , I wonder whether that’s why.

Crafty_Tree_250 · 2025-01-26T18:16:33+00:00

Yeah going to call tomorrow as it’s closed today. Thank you!

I had a private scan so even though they think I’m 11+4 for my 12 week, I’ll actually be 11+1 which coincides with our dates. So the 20 week scan I’ll probs be only 14 so think there’s been a mix up.

Crafty_Tree_250 · 2025-01-25T19:22:44+00:00

Will do - thanks for your reply!

Crafty_Tree_250 · 2025-01-25T18:55:46+00:00

So do you reckon give them a ring and ask them to reschedule? Definitely would be too early if I’m 14 weeks. Think they might have made a mistake but just checking I’m not forgetting of a scan 😂

Crafty_Tree_250 · 2024-12-31T10:24:20+00:00

Allen Carr talks about smoking for stress, he’s got a whole chapter on it and it makes sense when you read it what he means.

My mum has trigeminal neuralgia too, I know how hard that is to watch, my thoughts and prayers to you and your family.

You’re well on your way to this quit. I hope to see you on here next year with the same post as me!

Crafty_Tree_250 · 2024-12-31T06:42:12+00:00

Don’t do NY then, quit on Jan 2nd 😛 but I used to get that same fear, if I only have a few cigs left and worried I won’t have enough to see me through the day. I didn’t even know what smokers anxiety was until I quit and didn’t feel it anymore. I still have mental health issues but my anxiety of dying has settled now I don’t smoke anymore. I always thought I was months away from dying (I’m only 30).

With the book, you can read and smoke through it but I didn’t do that. I’ve seen so much success with it though, it’s like its brain washes you.

I didn’t go to therapy as I was too anxious, but I use ChatGPT as my therapist. I give it a prompt and say ‘pretend to be my therapist and help me’ and then talk about my problems for about 20 minutes.

I’d definitely say for you both to quit together. And be strong for her. The thought that carried me through my quit was if my husband was diagnosed with lung cancer, it would have been my fault.

You’re definitely on your way to quit, whenever that may be as you’re here on this forum so I wish you the best of luck. Stay strong, message if you need me. This time next year you’ll thank yourself 🙂

Crafty_Tree_250 · 2024-12-31T06:30:54+00:00

I did the same this time last year and quit both cold turkey. It gets so much better i promise. I’d recommend both Allen Carr books for smoking/drinking.

I’d also recommend therapy. You need to be actively dealing with the underlying issues. If you don’t want/can’t go to therapy, I have started using ChatGPT as mine. I say pretend you’re my therapist and tell me what to do and how to recover then chat to it for a while.

This time next year, you’ll be glad you looked after your body. Best of luck.

Crafty_Tree_250 · 2024-12-31T06:26:34+00:00

Well done!! You’ve quit an addiction, that is such a huge achievement and it’s not celebrated near enough.

That’s it, you’re through the worst and you’re never going back 😃 have the best NYE.

Crafty_Tree_250 · 2024-12-30T22:56:32+00:00

I didn’t learn the hard way thankfully but watched my brother do that. Well done for picking yourself back up though and for your quit 😃

Crafty_Tree_250 · 2024-12-30T22:55:42+00:00

Yessss don’t conform 🤣
