My husband and I have been married for over 20 years now. For the first 15 years, he was physically active all the time. He would wake up in the morning with more energy than I could ever hope to have, head outside right after breakfast, and not commit until lunchtime. When lunch was over, he was once again heading back outside to cut and chop wood or work in the garden. Then the unthinkable happened. My husband was in a car accident. He had a lot of nerve damage done in his hips and spine, which left him with the inability to walk without the assistance of a cane. His will to do the things that he once enjoyed doing, was no longer there. Every step he took, with or without the cane, was difficult and painful. It was almost as difficult for me to watch as it was for him to experience. Then, two months ago, my husband got his medical marijuana card. It took me some convincing to get him to talk to the doctor about medical marijuana, but once he did he was anxious to receive it. Two weeks after starting medical marijuana, my husband’s pain had lessened to the point where he was doing little more around the house. After a full month, medical marijuana helped my husband to get outside and work in the garden. I’m not sure what would’ve happened to my husband had we not found medical marijuana. I know he was to the point where he was ready to give up, but I’m now getting my husband back.
