Thank you so much for all your work on trying to get help for yourself and the MANY people that could GREATLY benefit from Medical Marijuana.
Our 28 yr. old daughter had Anterior Lumbar (front, on 3 levels), her first surgery on Feb. 26, 2007, they went in on the front side... it was a 3 level (S1-L5, L5-L4,L4-L3) Anterior Lumbar Interbody Fusion (ALIF) & bone taken from right hip to graft.
Her second surgery was 4 days later on March 2, 2007, they went in on the back side... it was a 3 level (S1-L5, L5-L4,L4-L3) Posterior lumbar interbody fusion (PLIF) and transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion (TLIF) , with rods, plates and screws.
She was on high doses of oxicodone & morophine for 3 years waiting for her insurance company to approve the surgery.
Now almost 2 yrs. after the surgery she has been prescribed a tremendous amount of narcotics...she is trying to only take the meds when she is REALLY in EXCRUCIATING pain. She also has been diaginosed with fibromyalgia and degenerative disc disease. She is in constant pain, even when on the narcotics.
Her father and I feel she should be able, legally, to see if Medical Marijuana would help her. She would like to lead as normal of a life as possible and feels that the leglization of Medical Marijuana is probably her only hope.
Again, THANK YOU! I you need any help please do not hesitate to contact us. Terri and Rod
