Please help. I dont know what to do. My mom had 1/3 of her left lung removed a year and a half ago. She quite smoking before the surgery and never went back. (thank god) she still uses the nicotein tube that does not effect the lung but sends nicotein into the bloodstream.
My real problem is that she has gone back to smoking pot. She smokes a moderate amount everyday. She is still not recovered from the surgery!!!! She has pain in her side all the time that she takes heavy duty medication for. At times she doesnt eat because of the discomfort. I know of ladies 20 years older than her that have had the same surgery and are completely fine now. I know that her part time pot smoking must be holding back her recovery and maybe causing even more damage, but she will not hear of it. As far as she is concerned she quit smoking cigarettes and that is good enough.
Please somebody give me some advise on how to deal with this? I feel like Im sitting by and watching my mother kill herself after she had been given this second chance at life.
I need to be able to tell her exactly what the pot smoke is doing to her. I cant lose my mom.
Thank you for reading,
