The sun is going to rise in the east, I'm still going to miss Punk and my youth.

Most of us will be OK. Some won't. Most of us here are old farts. Don't stomp the kiddos.

A lot of the young uns here are putting various colors in their hair. It freaks me out. One girl at Wal Mart is so painted up she must work on it an hour every morning to get it right.

Hell, Bozo the Clown worked on his make up for two hours before every show. ;)

Jim, when my mother died in 2014 and my younger sister died in 2019, I thought my days of taking care of folks that couldn't take care of themselves were over. Had my wife known where my money was going when I was saving my neighbor's children from the government 20+ years ago, she would've divorced me a lot sooner. I told them that. I never let Teri know what was happening. Her childhood was tragic enough.

Now I've got an 11 y/o girl and her 46 y/o father on my plate, my choice.

I'm walking alone, I sure as hell don't need a 30 y/o gal chasing me to the Rainbow Bridge telling me, "I love you." I tell her, "Grow up."

I've been in some pretty bad places over the years, but I'm gonna do what I have to do to keep a little girl from suffering. She deserves better.

McMurphy knows her time is up, we don't talk much, I just hold her. We both cry.

We've all been in tough spots over the years.

The former manager at Bristol Manor died from cancer. And I'll bet St. Peter didn't let her in the Golden Gates after all the lying and stealing she did.

My production manager at the workshop told me they were fast friends when in High School.

Cancer kills a lot of them, and it killed both of my sisters before their 60th birthdays.

I am 67 now myself and dealing with the MRSA wounds on my legs. The wounds are healing which is because I am doing aromatherapy at night with blended essential oils. I still have a few bottles of them.

I hope to be able to go to my 50th High School Reunion in Illinois on October 1st. With some luck and a good pick up with some cash to gas it up I will be in luck. ;)

Many of these doctors find it hard to keep up with advances in treatment. And most of all they do not believe in essential oils.

My primary care physician prescribed Vancomycin TWICE a couple of years apart. If he didn't get any positive results the first time, why did he do it a second time?

The doctor in Joplin said Vancomycin was not the right anti-biotic. But he wouldn't say which one was the right one.

I transferred from Joplin to Nevada after that doctor in Joplin suggested shooting foam into my legs to fill in the capillaries.

Needless to say, that scared the hell out of me.

I have a small bottle of Sovereign Silver ointment that can be applied to the wounds. But I have not tried to take it along for them to try it.;)

Apply it yourself

I cannot possibly apply it myself since they have wraps on my legs.

I had a 2 oz tub of ointment that was supposed to be beneficial if applied to the wounds. The doctor in Joplin said I could use it, but the nurse was misapplying it and not putting it in the wound where it would do the most good.

I hollered at them, "The bacteria does not run down my leg and cause a new wound. It is inside me and the medicine will not work unless you put it in the wound." :-/
