Morning yall i havent wrote much lately. As of today we have 9 months & 19 days in recovery… im for a small town in pa that is know for the drugs… most of my life ive been an addict from pain pills to coke to fentanyl patches to meth and booze never the less i was 11 when this started im now 42… this my second surgery since i started my recovery back in January… i cant stress enough to the dr here at the local hospital to no give me any kind of narcotics or opioids…. In turn effect the nurse look down on me because im an addicted in recovery… i know that this is an honest program and being the dr and nurse are to be on ur side it sucks when they look down on ya because of past choices or illnesses whatever the case may be… i mean come at least im say no to drugs for the frist time in my life
I wish you the best of luck with your surgery and the power to not want any pain meds after surgery is fantastic good job and your right they shouldn’t look down on people because of our past and our decisions we don’t have to live like that anymore but again good luck with surgery I’ll keep you in my prayers
Thank you… I came home with 5 tramadol for pain I only take prescribed 800mg ibuprofen… I’m a chronic pain patient because I have fibromyalgia… the nurse I wrote about got kicked of my medical team with in seconds… my dr and his team was great and they all understood about no narcotics or opiates…
I pray blessings over you and I can relate to your whole Story I mean your whole story I’ll have eleven months on this coming up Sunday. Congratulations on little over nine months Amber that’s awesome
I wish the best for you sometimes we think people are looking down on us when they’re actually not. I’m not saying this is the case that as added, I know with me anyways I think when I tell people I’m an addict that has never struggled with it sometimes I get it in my head that they look down on meand I’m out spoken so I usually say something to that person and a lot of times I find out that it’s not actually true. It’s me putting negative thoughts in my head for no reason.
Your definitely doing the right thing just keep doing what you've been doing and things will work out in your favor. Good luck 
Thank you and congrats on the 11 months one day a time
Absolutely we only have today and congratulations on nine months that’s impressive 
Hello dear wish we could be friends
We can be
Tramadol is an opiate
Yes I understand this, but they only gave me 5 and they ain’t had bad as what I used take.. my dad also lives with and holds them I take ibuprofen 800 because I’m scared to take them
I hope you recover fully from surgery. I know all about surgery and narcotics. I have had many and I'm getting hip replacement surgery in 4 weeks. did you have to stop smoking? my surgeon said no nicotine if any kind...butts, vapes, patches. gum... nothing. and said they're going to test me to be sure (I guess he think addicts lie, 
) anyway. I been on zero nicotine vapes for about 10 days now
The stigma in healthcare is real. It’s not right, and it’s definitely not your fault. You should never feel less because of someone else’s bias, that’s on them, not you.
It’s unprofessional and it happens way more than people realize. Some ppl avoid hospitals because of it, and that’s heartbreaking. Never let it define you. Stay proud, stay strong in your recovery. I’m really proud of you.
Praying for a swift narcotics free surgery and recovery
Surgery was Monday I’m feeling a lot better today threw this whole week I only took ibuprofen 800 mg… the first couple days was rough if I move wrong old scars hurt it’s crazy but I’m grateful
Thank you for the prayers
Thank you…. Not even gonna lie the struggle is real, it’s hard but I do have a good support team and my medical ppl are awesome I have several specialists I have to see.. from nerve pain to stomach to headaches… I have always had a lot of health issues never really felt with any of it unless it admitted me to the hospital… one thing recovery has thought me is self care
No I didn’t have to stop smoking
I said something to her about when she started being rude because I don’t let anyone talk down to me. So I told the head of my medical team for that day and she wasn’t allowed to be apart of it I told them I didn’t want near my room or me because she had me so mad about it… I don’t like to be angry I’m a very up beat person
