As you may or may not know that my wife has been through a
horrible ordeal that involved her slipping on some wet wax and falling on the
cement floor on her elbow. Ever since that time, she has gone through several
surgeries and countless hours of physical therapy. Sadly, she has found herself
having to take pain medication to help ease her chronic pain. We've tried
different methods of helping her out, but many of the treatments just don't
seem to work. I have been going through a tiny bit of pain myself since I got a
boil under my left arm which blossomed into this massive infection. I just
learned that it is a form of staff infection. Jaimee has been trying to squeeze
out as much of the infection as she could, but I can tell you that this is
incredibly painful. The pain feels like hundreds of wasp’s sting my side all at
once. I have had all kinds of pain in different places for different reasons,
but I have to admit this is probably one of the worst I can remember.
I can honestly admit that I will never
experience the pain my wife has felt throughout her life. The first of those is
that she delivered our first child naturally. No medicine, no epidural, no fast
delivery. She was in labor for a very long time before she finally gave birth to
Megan. On the last three of our children, they all had to be taken by
C-section. With the pain of natural child birth that my wife went through, she
can gauge all other pain from that experience. I one thing I really want for
Jaimee right now is relief.
We need an answer. Jaimee and I are at a
point of what to do next. The problem with pain pills is that the body will
build a tolerance to them and so more is needed to do the job they were mean to
do. The risk is that eventually those pills can kill you. I've read lots of
stories of people who have overdosed on pain medication. In fact, more people
die from prescription pills than any other form of drugs...combined!!! I am speaking
of heroin, cocaine, marijuana, alcohol, ecstasy, etc. If you don't believe me, look
it up for yourself and you'll be in for a big surprise. I'm afraid this is
going to be a long and difficult battle on trying to find some normalcy again,
or at least some comfort.
