Don't for a minute pretend that you don't contribute to the tenor around here. Congrats on still not smoking. X-rays and CT scans will tell you where the breaks are. Not a surgeon but there may have been difficulty in getting things patched up in a way that wouldn't lead to excess soft tissue damage. Back when I did biomedical we had engineers who would look at the x-rays of orthopedic surgery and comment that "they might be great doctors but they're terrible carpenters." Our doctor's rep quipped "you try building a cabinet through a 1-inch hole that's bleeding."
The last month has actually made it pretty easy! No craving is ever going to outweigh day-after-surgery pain. Since it's almost entirely psychological at this point and I've been lucky enough to have problems big enough to distract me, the cravings have been almost non-existent! That's fantastic, and I'm stealing it.Congrats on still not smoking.
