Hey, Jenna!
You do sound GREAT!
And I'm so happy for you that you were able to quit smoking!!! Please don't pick up one; it leads to the next 10,000 +
Keep up the good work. Yes, do talk to that doc. He very well should have waited, unless there is a medical reason we are unaware of. But, then again, why couldn't someone else have continued them till you had the 8 and then stopped? You deserve answers, here.
Shalom!
