There is no real good way to describe a critical injury but to say that it’s simply a life changing event.
- One day I was living my life like normal and the next, I was waking up in the hospital.
However, my doctor helped be figure out how to get a medical marijuana card to help with my recovery. The pain medications that I was given before and after my surgery came with some pretty heavy side effects. This sometimes happens to certain people and I just wasn’t able to deal with the higher doses of pain meds. Early on in my recovery, prior to getting access to the cannabis dispensary, I just wasn’t getting the benefit out of physical therapy due to the pain I was in. This is when the doctor was able to get me through the cannabis rules so I could then get into the cannabis dispensary. After talking with the professionals at the medical marijuana dispensary, I was able to start treating with cannabis flower products. I saw the medical marijuana benefits nearly immediately. Not only did the cannabis flower products help me manage the pain better but the range of movement I experienced was significantly better. All I know is that without medical marijuana, I just don’t know where I would be in my recovery from a very critical injury. I’m starting to find out that there is life outside of pain and recovery. The medical marijuana helps me with that as well. I’m more positive, hopeful and committed when treating with the cannabis flower products.
