i know of what you speak my brother.... i was injured 7 years ago and pretty much became a recluse from it. my doctors have me on percocet x5 daily and i can't wait for medical marijuana to get going because of what the percocet do to me as well. i worked for the same company for 22 years and as a result of my injuries they let me go and that was a strange feeling to say the least .. waking up and no where to go ? it took a while for me to redirect my energy and i did but the depression was and still is a daily climb out of hell. because of work and comp i couldn't partake of the herb but soon i will be able to or at least i hope so.... comp could still drop me because of the thc i will test positive for but right now because of the percocet i get some relief for the all the pain i suffer from but the down side is depression, constipation, no sex drive and oh my god the anger..... my wife doesn't understand of what i go thru on a daily basis and she just adds fuel to the anger that is there so its a no win situation for me except to go hide in my little shop and pray she leaves me alone. but thru it all i keep looking towards the heavens knowing that some day this will be all over and then no pain... send me a reply and we'll talk because not everybody is cold and dead inside.
