My 65 yr old mother lost her right leg, above the knee, due to complications during a knee surgery 2.5 years ago... two months before her planned retirement.
She has suffered tremendously physically, and even more so mentally and emotionally. She used to be the strongest person anyone in our family and circle of friends ever knew. She was our rock.
Now addicted to opioids, over the last two years, she had devolved to "just waiting to die".
I have given her weed and e-joints to help with pain and depression (she is a child of the 60s, so not a new thing for her).
But...my step dad brought her CBD oil from Hawaii and it has made a huge difference in her! Two drops under ther tongue, as often as she wishes.
She swears that her pain is reduced. Everyone else has noticed an improvement in her emotions. She has cut her narcotics intake drastically and seems happier than she has been in a long time. She also partakes in smoking a pinch hit from time to time, and loves it.
True story.
