If you look real close and squint just right you can see how the side of my thumb is a little red.  
 

Ewe, that's aweful, sorry buddy!  😩

What you talkin bout Willis?

A bungee cord attacked me with its galvanized hook and nearly ripped my upper lip off.  My ever growing whiskers....and the fact that I can't keep my mouth from moving all the time, will not allow it to fully heal.   It will start to heal....but then I'll crack it open again, and the process is never ending.   

I'm beginning to think that I'll have to be placed in solitary confinement and fed through a straw before it ever heals.   It's a drag.   Doesn't hurt.....but takes away from my striking good looks. 😊

I got Humana and Pharmacy told me it wouldn’t pay. I have the money to pay for it but my wife will have a fit.

Let her have a fit but get the shots.  You really don't want shingles, especially with all the other stuff you have going on.

Oh boy, now we all have Shingles to worry about ? 🙄

As tough as you are, shingles probably should be worried about you.

Those of you that have had it, how old were you?  I read they recommend folks 60 and older get the vaccine, but also read that it usually affects folks over 50.

I had just turned 65.

I noticed that at Taney.  You should go to a doctor.  Wounds that don't heal for long periods can be trouble.  I don't like Dr's either but sometimes you need to go.

         Pat and I told him the same thing.

No health insurance.  I've looked into it and the cost of it is more than my mortgage payment each month.    No freakin' way !

Thanks for y'all's concern, but I've always been a self healer.....just sometimes takes longer than I'd like.   If I had taken the advice of doctors in the past I would have already had knee surgery, shoulder surgery,  eye surgery, and would be on numerous meds for life.    As it stands I'm on NO meds at all....no knee/leg problems, no shoulder problems, no eye problems.  I don't even require corrective lenses.  I'm strong, full of piss and vinegar, survived Covid, can still get a boner without any pharmaceutical assistance, and I feel just fine.   💪😊🤟

I hate that my face has an ugly blemish.... but I'm thankful as hell that it wasn't my eyeball, so I consider myself pretty darn lucky.   If it never completely heals then I can live with it if everyone else can.  I probably don't have that many GOOD years left anyway. (12 or so if I remain fortunate). 

Doctors can just spend their valuable time "treating" the rest of you, since so many of ya seem to not be able to function without them.  You're welcome. 😊 No sense in ME creating longer wait times for other peoples appointments, especially those people whom have faith in them and can afford to pay them their going rate.   👍

When I was a kid my mom took us to the doctor if we got ill or needed medical attention......and would just write them and the pharmacy a check to settle it on our way out.  And the amount was reasonable. 

Guess what?   Doctor visits don't work like that anymore.   I'm surprised that you, especially since your procedure, didn't know that.   

You're talking to a guy that got charged 114k just to be told that I had RMSF.  Guess what? I never paid it, never followed through with the 14k per year treatments, and the bling to my credit score just recently fell off.....which is why YOU'RE insurance is so high.    Sorry 'bout that.....but that was absolutely rediculous.     

Do I still have RMSF?   Should have, but who knows?   If I do it hasn't kept me from doing anything I want/need to do.   

How many days did you spend in the hospital?  I was only there for 45 minutes. 🤔  Was given a 1/2 of a blood pressure pill, a MRI, and had some blood work. That's it for 114.000.00

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