Okay, a little update. Hubby went to the doc Monday. Its a woman doctor. She gave him something called Durabac. I looked it up. It seems to be okay. Well, he called her back today or she called him back. She agreed that she would help him with his back and do everything she could to avoid surgery. She started him on physical therapy. Well, he goes first time on Monday. He supposedly told her he did not want to use narcotics. She told him there are a hundred different medicines out there that she could try on him that are not narcotics. So, you know I am hearing all of this from my addicts mouth so it is hard to tell what exactly is true and whats not, but for now I choose to believe him and hope that this works. Hopefully he will take this seriously and not abuse someone who is trying to help him. Maybe things are going to be okay. Maybe I am going to be okay, as selfish as that sounds. At least its a ray of hope. Thank you guys for always being here for me.
