Greetings,

Two years ago my wife fell and broke her hip. They put 3 metal pins in her hip as she was too young for a replacement (29). By God’s grace through Our Mothers intercession it seems to have healed. However, my wife was taking heavy pain medication before the accident because of a disk problem in her back. After the operation and recovering period she continues to take pain medication. Over the past two years this has continued. It has advanced to the point that I keep the medication and only give her as much as she is suppose to have. Each time I hide the medicine she seems to find it. I have bought a lock box to put the medicine in so she cannot get to it.

I am very worried she is not going to give me her medication next month as she continues to ask for more and I will not give it to her. Of course she doesn’t think I trust her, but we have been down that road before. I give her medicine to try on her own, a few days or a weeks worth and it is always gone before it is suppose to be. I have seen her go almost two weeks without hardly any medicine which tells me the pain is perhaps not as bad as I once thought it was. It is simply the addiction in her body telling her she needs more.

Today our 6 year old over heard us discussing the medicine:( It is never a fight, just discussion. She told me to just give mommy the medicine. There is so much more I could write, but this is the short version.

I am asking for prayers for her to realize that she can’t get off them alone. I am also asking for prayers for this me, a husband who loves his wife and family. Ask God to give me strength and grace to be patient and too fully give in to His trust and Will in our lives. I know we are brought closer to Him through our sufferings.

Thank you/-]/-]
 
Praying that you and your wife will be abandoned to God’s Merciful Love fully confident in His Merciful Love. May you both have the strength, the patience and the other graces you need to keep faithfully persevering. May your wife come to recognize how dangerous it is to take pain killers too often and understand where you are coming from when you will not let her take too many. Amen.
 
Praying for your wife, for you, and for your little girl. God bless you.
 
Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with thee.
Blessed art thou among women and
blessed is the Fruit of thy womb, Jesus.
Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners
now and at the hour of our death. Amen.
 
Lord Jesus,You said,
“I have come to set the captives free.”
We are captive and need Your healing touch.
Free us, Lord, from our addictions,
so that we will be:
…free from the cares and worries that stifle our happiness;
…free from sins that cling to us, and to which we cling;
…free from all compulsive behavior
that prevents us from becoming what You, Lord,
have planned for us.
Bring us, loving Savior,
to the experience of abundant life
which You promised.

Amen.
 
My son has a pin in his foot that should have been removed but he didn’t go back. He never even notices it, and a lot of pressure goes on the foot. After two years it just seems strange that your wife still needs medication. The doctors surely have some responsibility here.

Anyway, praying for your wife, you and your daughter. It sounds like a lot of pressure and worry for you.

PATER NOSTER,
qui es in caelis,
sanctificetur nomen tuum.
Adveniat regnum tuum.
Fiat voluntas tua, sicut in caelo et in terra.
Panem nostrum quotidianum da nobis hodie,
et dimitte nobis debita nostra
sicut et nos dimittimus debitoribus nostris.
Et ne nos inducas in tentationem,
sed libera nos a malo. Amen.
