Like many active adults in their 50’s and 60’s, I needed to get hip surgery after many years of overuse.  Maybe too many years compensating for my troublesome knee? Either way, the hip pain was cramping my style, and I wasn’t ready to consign myself to sedentary life just yet.

You know me… I’m having too much fun💚

As I prepared for my hip surgery, I was curious about “being a patient.“ I’m a nurse with 30 years of experience under her belt! Yet this was the first time in a long time that I was the patient instead of the provider.

I also know that hip replacement has a long recovery with lots of pain management. When I was a young nurse and blew out my knee decades ago, I had a strong stomach reaction to the opioids the doctor gave me. I had flashbacks to throwing up violently on a plane – not something I was anxious to recreate. 🤣

So I looked into medical cannabis as an alternative to opioids as part of post-surgery pain management.🌿

The irony is that I spent so many years being cautious of cannabis!

As a mother of teenagers, I was concerned that if my kids consumed cannabis regularly it would affect their drive, and academic ability.  Or overdose. Only later did I learn that you can use cannabis without significant impairment….and you can’t overdose on marijuana! There are just no cannabinoid receptors in the brainstem.  But I digress.

After doing extensive research on alternative pain remedies, I found that the answer was in nature all along. Why was I so surprised?

What if you could get rid of:

• Strong medications that are highly addictive (and make you nauseous)
• Anti-inflammatories that are hard on your stomach
• Sleeping pills that make you groggy
• Anti-anxiety medications to calm the nerves
• Stool softeners for the constipation

And replace those with a SINGLE natural pain management tool that solves all of those problems?

The beauty of cannabis is that it can do ALL of those things 💚

In a single dose of cannabis you’ll get:

💚 Pain management with THC-A and CBG

💚 Restful sleep with CBN

💚 Anti-inflammation with CBD 

I know I’m not the only one out there with joints that need serious attention (aging isn’t fun, but it’s better than the alternative!).

That’s why I created “Heal With Denise” for Pre- and Post-Op care.
