Some of the links on this forum allow SMF, at no cost to you, to earn a small commission when you click through and make a purchase. Let me know if you have any questions about this.
Our prayers are with you for a full & speedy recovery. Nurses can be tough (they do have a super demanding job) but they always appreciate a good patient and one that shares some treats. During my stay in the hospital my wife softened my nurses up with some chocolates. I imagine some smoked treats would do even do better! Probably no chance they would let you sneak a WSM out on the loading dock?
Truly hope all goes well and you are home smoking real soon.
