Thanks for your advice guys, I'll get in touch with the insurance company tomorrow and see what they say.
Still clear, tablets seem to be working. No coughing at all, and no blood.
I'm feeling really good if I'm honest. My breathing is a lot easier, I don't have that "bunged up" feeling in my nose, which I've had for god knows how long, and still no craving for a cigarette.
I've got lozenges and patches to help, haven't resorted to using any of them yet, but out of curiosity had a try of a lozenge the other day. Bloody hell, they are awful!!
So a nice easy day in store, I've decided I'm not returning to work for another week, just going to sit out in the garden and watch the sun come up.
Thanks again for your support and advice. It really is much appreciated.
Rob
