Someone I care for very much is having back surgery today. Not sure what makes me worry more, the surgery or the recovery. I have been avoiding back surgery and saying no to it for at least 10 years if not longer. I have heard that after one you will continue to need more surgery and I have also heard the surgery sometimes makes the pain worse. That was enough for me to say no, I can make it. I was also numbed from the morphine. I really wish our government would legalize marijuana so that people could have a safe alternative to pain medications. Maybe then this person would actually try a safer medication if it was legal. I am all for modern medicine but the government and the doctors need to recognize that marijuana is a safe alternative to pills. Pills hurt more in the long run than they help in the here and now. My head is spinning because I cannot control what others choose to do and I am so worried this person might have to go through the pure hell I went through. Already the pills are making them nauseous. Marijuana would help with the nausea and the pain. Instead of taking however many pills eat a brownie, smoke a bowl or hell use THC infused soy wax on the parts that hurt and ache. I just wish people would learn and be open to the truth about marijuana. And I wish I could really express what I feel and think right now but just cannot get the words out. Grateful that my boyfriend is here to listen to me as I babble on about crap that makes no sense to him I am sure.
To a speedy and painless recovery…
