Motorcycle accident. I was in a cast for six months with pins in my left knee. They put me on Demerol to take care of the pain.
After the first month, I was taking that Demerol like candy. My leg had atrophied, so the cast was pushing down on the pins.
I went through that nightmare for the rest of the six months. Having to walk to school on crutches. Almost a mile there.
Yeah! I knew hell.
My family didn't care. "Oh! You're faking it".
Nurse said at the end, that what I went through was worse than a pregnancy and having given birth.
The cast was all bloody on the outside.
