Fentanyl Free.....Finally

This is probably one of the most personal things I’ve ever discussed publically, but now is the time to do it.   Amongst the death of yet another celebrity due to Fentenyl usage, I am blessed to find cause to celebrate.

I imagine you've heard the news about the opioid epidemic in America. You may have heard about Prince and Tom Petty, both of whom were prescribed this powerful narcotic for their pain, only to die from accidental overdoses.   Chances are that you thought that they were taking it to get high and that’s how they overdosed.  I’d bet the bank that the true story is something entirely different. I'm guessing that it's actually an extremely sad ending to a very common situation.

Perhaps you know someone who had multiple back surgeries, like my husband did, or maybe a cancer patient who is in terrible pain and has one of those Fentanyl patches on their body.  Or maybe they wear multiple patches, like Justin did.  

Justin is one of the few lucky ones to have a happy ending to his opioid story.  As of a few weeks ago, following seven years of wearing Fentenyl patches for pain management, my husband is finally free of it.    

He is badass.  He’s strong.  He’s my hero.

Unexpectedly, Justin wasn’t the only one wearing that patch for all of these years.  His family wore it too.  Part of my vlog below touches on this story.  (If you don't automatically see the video, click here)

Wishing you all Peace and Love!
