So I had to run into the big city yesterday. I was due for arthroscopic surgery on my left knee today but it ended up being bumped to next Wednesday due to an emergency. The pre OP info says "no smoking for 24 hours before surgery" and since I wasn't due in hospital until 09:00 I sparked up a Te-Amo #4 in the car at 08:00 Monday morning and smoked it on the way into the city. I figured by the time they got me on the table and applied the spinal block, it would easily be past the 24 hour mark since finishing the cigar.
I did stop at my favorite B&M and pick up some pipe tobacco for my wife (did I mention she quit cigs some time back and started smoking a pipe??) and grabbed a couple sticks for myself. Had I known before leaving for town I was going get bumped, I'd have smoked something on the ride home instead of on the ride in.
