Learning through pain (mental and physical): Quitting pain meds 5 days after a massive surgery.

Tough situations in life appear for everybody.  I’ve learned that taking the easy way out, escape-ism, may not teach, you never move forward.  5 days after my massive surgery I decided to quit all pain meds and learned so much to get my life back, through suffering. This was while dealing with mental trauma and not knowing if I’d ever walk again.  The tough road taught me and gave me so much more, even though I suffered.  There are ways to quit the pain meds and deal w/ pain. Here is how I bounced back and I'm getting the word out.
