Clarifying Svenn's Post _ updated on page 2
Oct 15^th, 2008 at 12:57pm

First of all, let me tell you that I am giving out this information at Svenn's request. He gave me permission to tell you this.

Svenn's post, this morning, had nothing to do with the "I Had a Dream" post. Although he still feels strongly about it, right now, that is about as far away from his thoughts as can be.

To give a little history, Svenn has been taking Imitrex as an abortive for years. In the past few years, he has been prescribed morphine injections to assist, when the imitrex does not work. His usage of morphine has been building for some time. Now he can no longer take Imitrex, so he has only oxygen and morphine to abort with.

He now knows that he is addicted to morphine. Addicted in a big way (if there can be such a statement). He has suspected as much in the past, but now knows it to be a true fact. He has decided that he has to break the addiction. He is VERY scared!

He is working with doctors, and addiction clinics, but so far is not getting the help he feels he needs. They are trying to detox him, at his home, and he is having a VERY hard time doing this. He feels he is at the end of his rope, and cannot hold on any longer. He is suicidal.

Several of us, here on this site, are in contact with him, several times a day. We are doing what we can.

What Svenn needs now is your understanding and prayers. He is in desperate straights right now. He needs us to support him in his time of need.

I am sure, that any of you who have been intimately involved with someone with a serious addiction, knows where Svenn is right now.

Please back him up. Give him the love and support that he has so freely given to others, in the past.

This is ripping my heart out, right now, so PLEASE, understand and help a DEAR friend in need!

Chuck

CAUTION: Do NOT smoke when using or around oxygen. Oxygen can permeate your clothing or bedding. Wait, before lighting cigarette or flame.

Keep fire extinguisher available, and charged.

Svenn is a dear friend and it hurts to hear that he has become addicted to the morphine. All we can do is pray for him as he goes through this and let him know that we love him no matter what. Give it all you got Svenn.

I'm glad to hear that those who are closer to Svenn than I am, are keeping in touch with Svenn and his family. Thanks for keeping us informed, Chuck.

I hope to hear that the doctors responsible for his medical care decide to place him in-patient until this thing is broken--many times, home is not the right place to be when going through detoxification. Without knowing much more than what you've said, Chuck, it sounds to me as if this is one of those times.

Svenn, you have my unconditional support and the very best that we can send. Get well soon.

All the best,

George

Thank you, Chuck.........I didn't want to 'out' him this morning, but I did call one of my (his)friends after I spoke with him. Again, all I can say is Thank you, Chuck.now I guess I have to be nice to you for a year.........
As I said in a previous post, when I read Svenn's msg this morning, I truly thought he had given up on helping clusterheads.......then, no more than a minute after I posted, he called. He is at the end of his rope.........so we need to send him more.
Svenn, you know I think of you as a brother I never had. You also know I love your wife. Whatever I can do, PLEASE let me know, till then, all my vibes and juju are going across the pond........don't you EVER make me cry again!
You can do this, Svenn, we can help........
