Well Won't Do Much Today

[oneshot 1]

My wife says it is Gout but this is different. 

It is in my Bad Leg, it is swollen half way up my Leg and having trouble walking. 

So going to Urgent Care.  I just hope they don't try to kill me like last time.

Well they said it isn't Gout. Their treating as a Skin Infection which it isn't. 

They said I have a couple of old Blood Clots but I think they were of no concern.  Plus my Limpnod is swelled.

It's part of human anatomy , a gland, that nobody ever acknowledged or thought was important until sometime around 1994 when doctors and pharmacutical companies realized that they could make LOTS of money by tampering with it.   

A doctor might be able to spell it correctly.....but you still wouldn't be able to read it.

The Limp Nod is an acting technique that Walter Brennan perfected in his role as Gran'pa on  “The Real McCoys”.

I thought maybe he meant lymph node in his groin area but wasn’t sure.

It was 1995 when I was diagnosed wirh lymphademia or lymphadema,  however you would like to spell it.  My right leg was swollen, got infected,  they thought at first it was a tick bite.  Then, possibly a blood clot, then ruled out as a staph infection,  and the antibiotics worked, the swelling should go down in 6 weeks.   Well, the swelling never did go down on its own, took some therapy, learned what little was known, and quickly realized he hard way, multiple times, I could not get into the water or risk nasty and possibly deadly infections.  I was 16.  

Fast forward to now, I am struggling to keep the swelling under some kind of control,  due to the surgeries after the accident.   Gonna see a new specialist in a couple weeks.   Hopefully wirh medical advances I can get to look more like a normal person,  instead of the elephant man.

You've been battling it for almost 30 years.....and I bet that wasn't all for free.....and now a "NEW SPECIALIST" is stepping in.
