I had a quadruple heart bypass operation in March this year, and on the morning of the operation, the young female nurse had to shave my chest and legs as they were opening up my chest and using the veins in the legs for replacement veins, and I don't think the nurse had done this before as she wasn't too sure how much of the legs to shave. I told her to just shave the entire legs and you can't go wrong. She did this and commented on how smooth my legs felt, and she was right. I have kept shaving them ever since.
I have recovered from the operation and am feeling better than ever, although with the scar down my chest, I have trouble wearing a dress with a plunging neckline.
