At my doctors office they require you to do 4 nicotine tests ...1 per month for 4 months if u were a smoker in the past. I just got my 4th nicotine test back and failed it. I was shocked. I couldn't imagine what had happend. Come to find out they failed to tell me to stay away from people who smoke because second hand smoke can show up on a test. 4 days before the test I was at a bachelorette party which was at a casino filled with smoke and our hotel room was a smoking room and almost every person was a smoker except me. I typed up a letter to the surgeon and faxed it to her explaning how I think this happend and that I do smoke. I already got my surgery date and if she decides to not trust me on what I am telling her about this test then my surgery will be pushed back. I don't know how to handle this....im sooo close and now this happends. Im a little upset with them because how can they expect me to not be around any single person who smokes without telling me that I shouldn't be....and besides that ..my husband is a smoker so its always on his clothing. Uhh...its just been a bad day. So if anyone could plz pray for me that my dr. Will decide to go ahead with the surgery...that'd be awesome. Thanks everyone.
