F*&( addiction...

[MacroGuru]

I just lost my mom...today, not but 5 hours ago....to prescription pain killers and muscle relaxers. One could say I lost her years ago when she took to it as her vice and refused help and treatment and was able to circumvent the road blocks that were put in her way to get her to stop.

I also buried my sister 2 years and 3 months ago for the same thing.

People ask me how I can put up with pain and not take prescription pain killers and just tylenol. And I will always point to this, these pills that I have watched take to many lives at a young age due to the addiction it creates...

I need to vent, I need to punch, I need to stand on top of a mountain and give a barbaric yawlp and say no more!

But alas, all I can do is sit here with tears running down my face and say, fuck addictive drugs....

[DaddyTorgo]

Sorry Dennis. My condolences.

[PadresFan104]

Sorry about the loss. I have a former friend who dealt with it, and I assume is still.

Addiction of any kind is a bitch

[Lathum]

Wow Dennis, so sorry to hear.

[SirFozzie]

I completely agree. My mom's been on morphine for.. well.. over a decade to the best of my knowledge, ever since she started treatment for cancer. She literally can't come off the drugs.. in her weakened state it would... not be good.

Thoughts, prayers and sympathy to you and your family

[PurdueBrad]

Dennis, I am so sorry. I lost my mom on New Year's Day unexpectedly and I can certainly empathize with your pain. I'm amazed at how often and randomly it still hits me. If you need anyone to talk to, vent to or anything like that just shoot me (or probably any of us) a PM.

[Marc Vaughan]

Really sorry to hear that, my thoughts are with you and yours.

[Logan]

Sorry to hear good buddy.

[Eaglesfan27]

I'm so sorry to hear this. Addiction is a terrible thing.

So, so sorry for your loss. Heartbreaking.

[PackerFanatic]

So, so sorry, Dennis.

[Warhammer]

I am very sorry to hear this, we'll keep your family in our prayers.

[SegRat]

Very Sorry

[AnalBumCover]

So sorry for your loss.

[flere-imsaho]

Very, very sorry to hear this. Terrible news indeed.

[Mizzou B-ball fan]

Sucks. Sorry to hear.

[cougarfreak]

Sorry for your loss, that's awful. Hang in there. :(

[cuervo72]

Wow, so sorry. Deepest condolences.

[Buccaneer]

I am sorry to hear this, my condolences.

It is a good lesson - for drugs of any kind (including pot which many seems to be enamored with). I have a bad, permanent condition with my foot and lower leg that gives me excruciating pain. All I do for it is take Advil and clench my teeth because I fear that prescription painkillers will be bad. It is a good lesson share from the mountain tops.

[sterlingice]

I don't know what to say other than that I'm sorry for your loss and I can't imagine what you must be going through

SI

[Butter]

Condolences to you, MG.

[Blackadar]

[Honolulu_Blue]

Very sorry to hear this. Absolutely sucks.

[Edward64]

Sorry, my deepest sympathies.

[Sun Tzu]

Very sorry to hear it, man.

I've never been a fan of any drug that scientists cooked up in a lab.

[lungs]

Sorry to hear.

[BYU 14]

So sorry Dennis, you know I am here if needed and you and your family are in my prayers.

I'm sorry for your loss. Death is bad, senseless death is just horrible. My thoughts are with you.

Anyone who tells you that you should take prescription pain killers can jump off a cliff. If it's a last resort and the pain gets to be too much? OK, but other than that, they should stay on the shelf. When I busted my hip, I took as few of the damned things as I could and people told me I was nuts and needed to give in. Screw that.

[digamma]

Hang in there...and sorry for your loss.

[MizzouRah]

Sorry for your loss. :(

[MacroGuru]

Thanks everyone, I appreciate the support. It means a lot to me.

I am next of kin and have been on the phone for near 4 hours today with mortuary, M.E.'s office and family planning out what we are doing and when.

Being the oldest sucks having to take the reigns and do all this. It's almost like, be strong first, grieve second.

My ex didn't tell my boys last night when I called and notified her, I pick them up tonight and I will be the one to break the news to them. My daughter knows and has some anger towards grandma, because she knows what happened.

I have probably had 3, maybe 4 hours of sleep as I am spinning things in my head.

[molson]

Addiction sucks so hard. Sorry to hear it.

[saldana]

so sorry for your loss

[Chief Rum]

Sorry for your loss, Dennis. Hang in there.

[PilotMan]

How are you doing today Dennis?

[EagleFan]

Sorry for you loss.

[MacroGuru]

How are you doing today Dennis?

Hanging in there. I was on the phone for about 6 hours yesterday with people and businesses back in Utah. There really isn't much more I can do now until I get back there next Thurs and sign stuff in person and prove I am who I say I am.

They OME has released my moms body to the mortuary and we will view the body prior to cremation on Thurs. We are going to do a Celebration of Life party on Saturday for her and her ashes will be released in one of her favorite locations within the mountains on Sunday. I will bring some back, so my kids can have closure and we release some of her ashes here in NY.

They hardest part was telling my 13 yr old. My daughter knew and had emotionally prepared herself for this, we talked about it, she cried and got it out and felt better.

Avery, he took it rough. My mom watched him as a little one, she kept him going and fell into his little love of army guys to the point she called herself the evil sarge when she had to get after him to clean up his messes to the point, he would do something to get her to turn into evil sarge, so he could salute her and run off to the mission she assigned him.

I am back at work, I will work today, tomorrow, Mon and Tues and fly to Vegas on Weds and then drive up to Utah with my Sister and spend time there until the 24th.

[samifan24]

I'm sorry for your loss.

[BigDPW]

I am so sorry for your loss MG. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

[MacroGuru]

Alright, packing to head out to Utah.

Not looking forward to going through all my moms belongings and dealing with the different agencies in Utah / Government.

Then just seeing her body before the cremation, don't know if I can handle it yet, I am definitely missing her something fierce and I can't believe she is gone.
