Broken bones heal faster (I hope)

6 Replies

Going into Hospital tomorrow for a operation to fix a twisted leg, ha ha. There going to break my leg and straighten it with pins and a cast. its shaped like a bannana after a hip replacement. I have just been told that you heal quicker if you don,t smoke ( I DON,T SMOKE, YIPPEE.) I have been waiting 2 years for this and did,nt know when it was getting done, I only found out 6 days ago so it,s great that I chose the right time to quit.Hope you all keep up the good work while i,m away, no having a sly one because i,ll know when I get back.

Take care and I,ll be thinking of you, I really hope it gets easier for each of you. Remember that quitting is not a problem for you all, its the way you deal with the problem thats the problem.
