The 5 day sleep is not possible for me either due to ins. denial due to so callled experimental use of the Ketamine....over and over..so this may be an option for me.. AND set me straight..am I thinking correctly..Talk to me family..

Hi KS,
I am so grateful that you are continuing to seek other opportunities and this shows perseverance and once again strength on your part. I think this is definately something that you should investigate. I too considered this many years ago, but like you I could not take medications and I just couldn't imagine having morphine pumped into my system without control. But as time goes on I am learning that it is not like that, it goes directly to the source and does not have a impact on the mind. You have my support and prayers that this may be a great opportunity for you. I too am going back to work with or without pain. This is just not working for me and really no matter where I am, some days are just miserable. I wish you all the best best with lots of hugs and laughter!!
Your little buddy
