Last November I had a hernia surgery that the surgeon totally botched up and sliced my intestines up. The initial hospital stay was 4 1/2 days and i left my ecigs at home. A week later i became very sick and went back to the hospital for a two week stay. Towards the end i had my wife sneak an ecig in to me but kept it hidden. A couple weeks later I went for a docs visit and he decided that my intestines was not healing and he needed to open me up and probably take a couple inches of intestines off. The SOB put a colostomy bag on me instead and I ended up staying 10 days that trip in the hospital. This time I brought a bunch of my ecigs, batteries, juices and whatever I thought I would need for the stay. Not once did anyone complain. I only vaped in my room and kept it low keyed but all the nurses where curious about it and had many good discussions about vaping. Not once did anyone tell me I couldnt and a few times a nurse or nurse assistant would comment how the room smelled like strawberry or butterscotch.
I went home and about a week later i found I had a massive infection in my belly so went to the ER and was admitted for another week long stay. Once again I was prepared with my vape gear and not once was i told I couldnt vape. Once again I kept it low keyed. I didnt bring along my TOBH or my Patriot. I didnt try to fog in the room. I didnt go walking down the halls puffing away. I just enjoyed my ego and G5-H2 atomizers in my room and was satisfied with what I had. At times i would walk out to where the elevators where and sit on the bench there and puff a little.
In situations like this a little bit of common sense goes a long way. If I would of asked if I could vape, there would of more than likely been a huge "no" but I went ahead and did it anyways, I didnt blow big clouds of smoke where others could complain and I had my nicotine fix the whole time. Worked for me!
