I'm guilty of this too (mask slackness), but now I have a little one to look after I have decided to be very serious about my safety when working. Your best is yet to come I feel, so please take it easy until you're better, and when you do - wear that mask! And yes, the stone is no kinder to your airways - jade dust causes silicosis (I think) from memory.
