Doctor's visit

[mightyboosh]

I received a text asking me to make an appointment to see the doc.

I expected this because I went to have the circulation in my leg tested on the 22/8/19 and it had got worse.

It will be for the doc to persuade me to quit smoking I'm sure so I'm very much looking forward to saying that I quit on the 23rd. I'll be very proud to say that.

And he'll be super happy for you too. Especially if you show better results now that you're almost a month into your quit

The doctor will be very happy that you have made the move already for me.  Similar situation for me when I quit and the doctor was over the moon!!!

Good luck with your appointment.

These links from our friend, Joel Spitzer, 

have to do with peripheral vascular issues.

There is also this from Joel,

Are Doctors Taught About Nicotine Recovery

Dr.'s are always delighted to hear that you have quit - that's for sure. Even your dentist will be thrilled as smoking has a huge negative impact on dental issues. Another benefits of quitting .... you get to say loud and clear, I quit smoking, rather than fumbling for words to indicate you know you should quit but haven't started yet

So pleased you have quit, what great news for you to tell your doctor.  Congrats on nearly three weeks

[Doreensfree]

I agree with all above ...your Doc will be very pleased ..

I am sure your doctor will be happy that you have quit and it will feel great to tell him the awesome news.

 

I hope all goes well with your doctor's appointment and keep up the great work!

Glad you're sticking with the quit! I wish my BF would quit for this reason. He complains that from the knees down his circulation is bad and causes either a burning sensation or numbness. He refuses to go to the Dr. saying he'd rather not know. Both his coworker and I have really gotten on his butt about it since he said he would quit after I finished my radiation treatment however 2wks out and it seems he's smoking and drinking more . I wish I could force him but it falls on deaf ears.

My wife is the same. I don't think it can be forced, they just have to see the light in their own time.
