Doctors giving you a hard time about smoking

My Doctor told me that an occasional cigar was not a problem.

When I had surgery on my wrist it was preached that I don't smoke as apparently it constricts the blood vessels and makes healing longer. Good point so I cut back with the cold. When it warms up watch out!

My doc smokes a pipe.

When I had surgery a few years ago, I told the anesthesiologist that I smoked at least one cigar a day and he didn't say a word.

Also, some of our best customers at the shop are anesthesiologists.

The same thing happened to me when I had my appendectomy.

I'm glad your surgery went well.
