15. Who is next?

Mon Sep 2, 2019, 01:13 PM

Sep 2019

If the drugs allow me to live my life and get out now and then, it is worth it.

This war on opiates is plain stupid!

One sad case here:

>>Laura Johnson shuffled over to her coffee pot, hunched over at a 90-degree angle. She gazed out the window, watching birds land on her deck.

The 62-year-old’s spine is twisted due to slow deterioration from multiple sclerosis.

Johnson, of Shafer, Minn., said she could function normally when she was taking opioids for the pain. But after being weaned off of the medication, she can hardly leave her house due to agony from regular movement.

This story is me in a nutshell. Will I be next?

If so, its buh bye because it WILL KILL ME if they do!
