Hello, I Just Had Reconstruction Surgery On My Left Breast.
hello, i just had reconstruction surgery on my left breast. i had a problem with the stitches not healing, they call it, spitting stitches. well i had my nipples done and got an infection and was put in the hospital for 6 days. during that time they replaced my implant and used nylon stitches so they could remove them because they didnt dissolve in the last surgery. my doctor told me to stop smoking cannabis for up to 4 weeks. he firmly believes that my smoking cannabis is hindering my healing process. i told him i would comply, but having issues stopping completely. i suffer from other alignments like previous neck surgery, insomnia, graves disease and anxiety. would you please give me your advice on smoking cannabis. Thank you Karin Gallagher
