My wife had 3 cervical disc that are crushed and the spinal cord is narrowing. She is in so much pain all the time Had 2 surgeries but neither one corrected the problem so they just put in BMP to hold it together but could not put in any hardware to hold it in place because the Dr let it go too long and there was not enough of the disc to hold the hardware. Now the BMP is breaking down. She was on Opiac narcotics like oxyconton with Tylenol, etc, Last week she said she was hurting so much that she just wanted to go to sleep and not wake up. My son who is 20 found her passed out in the floor in the kitchen. We got her to the hospital and to a major hospital is st Louis. She said she tried to end the pain. She survived due to great hospital care. Her liver enzymes were over 15,000 and now they are 7. Her liver was failing. Now I am afraid to leave her at home alone when I go to work. I bought a locking pill planner and lock the other meds up in a new safe I bought. She does not know the combination. She says that she would never do this again to us since she saw how much it affected all of us, her mom , brother, sisters and me and the kids. I am having nightmares now of finding her dead and wake up crying. the feeling of dread won't go away and I am not sure what I need to do about it. Any suggestions, has anyone ever gone through this with any relative or spouse.
