Oxycontin Life rulers

Ahhhh stress don`t you just love it....
Life is on the go non stop lately..
If it`s not the kids with school or extra activities it`s hubby with health issues...
I tell you people I feel like a bloody taxi service, head cook and that little fairy that miraculously comes in to clean the inside and outside of the house...lol
I often ask myself the question "Would I have it any other way"???
Hmmmm let`s see..
Some things I would definitely like to change but seems certain elements in my life are out of my control....
One thing that is changing is the medication my husband is taking...
For way too many years now he has been on those dreaded tablets Oxy Contin..
Life rulers I call them...You are so limited as to where you can go and what you can do...
So today is the beginning of a new start...
He is in hospital to have his medication changed...
Naturally he is feeling apprehensive about it all as these tablets are highly addictive so in a way he is loosing his security blanket but is prepared and willing to change....
For the past 10 years or so our life as a family has been put on hold because of these rotten tablets and what makes it worse is that they no longer work for him...
So his doctor and of course hubby have come up with a plan to get rid of this life holding problem starting today...
How did he get to this point you may ask???..
Well a certain doctor had no hope for hubby`s future...He had written him off giving him, tops 8 months to live...
This was when they found the brain tumor, so to make him feel more comfortable he prescribed heavy drugs....
Oh and then there was the small matter of forgetting to tell us that they are highly addictive....
So here we are today 10 years on and going strong in the living department and my husband has to resort to this to try and gain his life back....
He will win as he is strong and he is doing this , one for himself and secondly for his family....
