Hello my friends. Queenie here.
Well, I had to have yet another surgery on my right stump. They had to saw off 1 1/2 inches from my tibia & my fibula because my stump wasn’t healing shut, preventing me from getting my prosthetic leg. I’m back on opiates and needless to say, when I woke up from surgery I was given enough narcotics to knock down 3 elephants. My doctors are all affiliated and know all about Suboxone. They know I need a lot of medication to cover my pain. I was in the hospital 4 days and was sent home with prescriptions that are a drug addict’s dream.
My problem is that it seems my receptors are wide open this time. I am feeling the high big time and what worries me is that I am liking it. I can’t transition back to Subs yet. I’m still in pain. I have 22 staples and 18 stitches and the surgery is only 2 weeks old. I am so afraid that I am liking it here too much. I am writing this to vent because I know the only solution is to go back on Subs as soon as I can. I just pray I have the strength to fight temptation.
I hope everyone is doing alright. A few words would help. You all know what it’s like.
Love to all,
QQueenie
