Her life after surgery was quite daunting as she had the flu and was aching from head to toe. At that point, she decided to take oxycodone. After taking that medicine, she realized how it took away her pain.
It not only soothed her knee pain but also relieved her overall pain. It was the best high she had ever felt. With that medicine, she felt as though she could achieve anything in the world. Just 45 minutes after the high, she would feel sad and focus only on retaking the medicine. Soon, she became addicted. Her daughter, Maddie, pulled her back to reality, highlighting how she had become a mess.
Her family missed her and urged her to come back to reality. Soon, she started fighting her addiction and even told Kody about it. She broke the pills in half and reduced her dose. Ultimately, she stopped taking them. She battled addiction for a month, but the repercussions lingered for six more months. Now, she is glad she got over her addiction.
