The Jab I Want

Rocky Mountain Tick Fever is a sketchy disease. 

A sore that does not heal is something to deal with.  Unless you are diabetic, then that would be another problem.  That has been going on for a while with you.

Couple of more for effect.  That was 6 years ago.  It started with a bite out of my tongue.  They made the new tongue out of the arm.  Not sure where they will pull a lip from...  Bet it will not taste as good as my arm.

Yep I remember when you first got it diagnosed.   You were scared shitless, and I was scared shitless for you.   Can't express to you how happy I am that you got it patched up sufficiently.  

Inside the mouth would be a problematic zone I'm sure.   Didn't it start from a raw spot rubbed from a chipped tooth?

I can't help but think a problem with the healing of my lip might be a degree of poisoning from the galvanized metal that ripped my lip open.   I don't think it is cancer (not typical basil or melanoma anyway) because it does try to heal..... but then I forget about it and continue going about my day to day BS and I smack it, nick it shaving, or bust a gut laughing about something and crack it open again.     Plus I go through spells where I can't keep from picking at it.  I'll be sitting there minding my own business and my wife or daughter will yell at me "Quit picking your lip!" 😂 

Oh! Yeah Sorry.  😉   It's become a subconscious "tick" with me.  

Honestly, I'd go to a doctor and have it checked out....but when I think about how much they are likely to milk me over it, that will make my blood pressure skyrocket.   So it's a tradeoff.....you wanna die of a heart attack..... or live with an ugly lip that doesn't even hurt?     Piss on it.   Ive never been known for my striking good looks anyway.....so WTH?   I refuse to give up everything I've worked all my life for just because a stupid bungee cord slipped out of my hands.  That belongs to my wife & kids.....not some GD greedy hospital and their staff of peons.

The only place you go where you don’t know how much they charge until later.  It’s a scam alright.  

You know what it's gonna cost when your wife goes to Kohl's?  I doubt it captain.  I seriously doubt it.  Let alone Zales or the car dealer.

They list their prices.  I guess they do like any other store.   Captain

Thank you all for sharing thoughts on Shingles.  Sounds like a something to avoid getting.

I'm 53, and got the 1st Shingrix shot a week or two ago.

I had shingles a few years ago, and got the shingles Vaccination exactly one year later.  Shingles SUX

I had Tick put me in the Hospital 8 years ago. Never had a problem even had hundreds of them on me at one time.

Now all of a sudden problem.

I'm due a second shot this month, had a friend go thru it in Michigan last year. He couldn't even stand a sheet on him it hurt so bad. He begged his wife to shoot him...
