May 7

I think the killing had something to do with the pain management he didn’t get. I’ve suffered with sometimes severe back pain for the last 23 years. It’s not fun. I have a neighbor with it, he drank too much to start with, now he drinks and takes pain killers deal with it. He has Arachnoiditis. I just have Degenerative disc disease and a collapsed disc. I do not take any prescription pain killers, though I expect in the future I will have to. For now I use otcs and endure and sometimes I fly off the handle at things, people and life in general.
