<p>When I was about 12 years old, I saw a TV production (black and white) of a nurse who became addicted to morphine shooting it up. It scared the crap out of me. A great performance seriously. I just knew that I NEVER wanted to be like that.
Tried pot in college and never anything more.
Took Percocet following my TKR and don’t recall ever once feeling anything but pain relief. Once I had no pain I didn’t even think about the remainder in the cupboard.
I’m very thankful.<br>
Our oldest son scared me poopless for a couple of years but the path a friend took eventually made a big impact on him. That friend died at age 31 of an Oxy overdose. His parents had tried everything humanly possible to save him.</p>
