In mid-December I decided to bite the bullet and interview a couple caregivers. The second person I called, Tom (name changed for privacy reasons,) seems to be the PERFECT fit and I am very lucky I was able to get in touch with him! Almost immediately after I met with Tom I was called by another caregiver in the area and he really pressured me to tell him how much I was going to pay for my MMJ. I am NOT going to say how much I am going to pay for my medicine! I was so turned off by this guy - I hope I am not proven wrong in my decision.
Right after I had Tom sign my caregiver form, I dropped it in the mail. I've been waiting for my check to clear and in the meantime I took a road trip to Phoenix to pick up my daughter and twin grandsons. When we saw them, Jan 5th, it was nearly two months after I last saw them. How they have grown! Nate took to me almost right away, Alex took a while. They come to me when they want a snuggle or are tired and it's so neat to have a baby fall asleep in my arms again.
The trip back was long but I've enjoyed having the boys here! They traveled very well!
After I got back home I looked to see if my check to the state for my MMJ card had cleared. It had! I've been sick with a bad cold or flu (not sure which) so I haven't been able to call Tom to get my first medicine. I'm still very hesitant but after today I think I need something. Really. I don't know what I'm going to do first - maybe make some cannibutter - but I need to try something. I still refuse to smoke it. I've had a really tough time getting to sleep lately and I've had much more pain and nausea. One night, while I was in Phoenix, I caught myself saying, "I'll bet some marijuana would really help right now!" It's quite scary to me, that kind of thinking. I truly hope I can find relief with medical marijuana.
