Just a friendly heads up... Let's not go too far down the covid trail. I'd hate to see this thread get locked up over it.I do wish for a speedy recovery to anyone posting illness here.

In all seriousness trying to convince people of "what works" is futile when people chose to make up their own minds, as they should. Anecdotal evidence does/may not prove truth, correlation, or causation and we also have all seen how things that are "proven" are/may be later be disproven too. I'll only ad my wife and I were prescribed Ivermectin for Scabies and it worked great with no side effects, that we experienced so, I am not afraid of Ivermectin as it was proven safe as a medication for us. Off label use should logically be safe also, regardless of proven effectiveness. I will quit this subject now before I enter deep into controversial or divisive territory of opinion.I don't think either side should berate those that have a different view point. I am not saying anyone has done this in this post but we know it can lead there. Peace! I get grumpy when I'm sick. Probably shouldn't post. Don't mean to offend. I prefer recreational drugs to therapeutic ones.

I prefer recreational drugs to therapeutic ones. I know I get grumpy when sick or exhausted too! I think it's normal and to be expected of/from others. As such I try to be forgiving just as I would excuse myself.Even when we are at our best we can say/write things we regret. I just try to assume others mean well, if I am wrong it doesn't hurt them or me. Sickness, pain or anger can cause an answer full of vitriol or mordancy. That does not excuse but does explain it.Understanding the human nature we possess also to some small degree, helps us to get along with others when we think about it.
Morning...Woke up at around 3:30 and couldn't get back to sleep so I got up, made coffee and got a shower.Betty Lou got up around 7:30 and before she could even sit down in her chair the phone rang. It was her sister in Ohio.Betty Lou's momma is a 3 time brain cancer survivor. She's not been feeling well lately. Last evening Betty Lou's SIL took her to the hospital. The diagnosis is not good. She has cancer throughout her body.The family is not happy with her doctors at all. Her momma goes to the doctor regularly and none of them saw, or acknowledged this.I need to quietly start planning a trip to Ohio, just in case, without upsetting Betty Lou any more than she is now. Lots of things to consider including a rental car (I wouldn't depend on my truck for a trip like that) and the dogs... they are well into the later years of their lives. Rambo is declining rapidly and Boss is not without issues.I do have some options but they will take some planning.

Thanks guys. It's probably worse considering it's just the day after BL's Birthday. Both women are very strong. I know Betty Lou will pull through just fine. As for her momma... if anyone can, she can. I don't know a tougher little woman.
Mornin y’all. My mom fell last night and broke three ribs. She’s eighty five so it’s kinda serious. We were at the emergency.room til 0530. The ER is becoming one of my hangouts. Mom is stable and they are trying to get her BP down. Im still half sick, sleep deprived, and my trick shoulder is killing me. Headed for work in a few minutes. Fortunately (?) I’m on the late shift today.
