Lost another friend....
There are too many of these stories around. He had ADR surgery more than 5 years ago. After apparent early success, he still had some ongling pain. There had been substance abuse issues in the past. The ongoing pain seemed to keep pulling him back to the meds. I had known him as a vital young man with a wonderful family and everything going for him. 5 years later, with nothing left... no family, no healthcare, no job; he dies an unexplained death at less than 50 years old.
How sad. Mark
