I got addicted to pain killers (OxyContin, Vicoden). For over two years I have not used any real pain killers. Today my docs & I decited it was time to do it again. This was a very hard thing for me to do. This morning I was justlaying in my bed suffering. I had to agree to the help of meds. My qualty of life was too low to go on with out it. It is important to me to be able to knit. That is what I do. After my son's death I started a business called Jason's Closet. I make hats and scarves to give to the needy for free. I give these things to the people that need them in my sons name. In doing this I tell them how my son died. I tell them how to prevent this from happening to their family. For the past two months I haven't been able to knit bc the pain in my hands & arms was to much. Now I think I'll be able to continue with my work.
