Absolute Truth! ( Can't say that around here too often.)
One of my father's buddies didn't do the therapy sessions the first time around because they wouldn't let him smoke . It got to the point where he was in more pain afterwards than he was pre-op. The therapy needed to get him headed back in the right direction was less than pleasant from what he's told me.
