Butt shots

10 days in a row,

15 miles each way

Happy New Year Dale

I was told I had this yesterday the results of a test they took almost a month ago.

This is not good for anyone with an immune disease like diabetes.

Really hard to stop.

I guess you get it in Hospitals.

Guess who was in Hospitals and nursing homes for 4+ months.

YUP.

NO EXCUSE TO SMOKE

WHAT GOOD WOULD IT DO?

When I was a young teen, I got pneumonia and was put in the hospital.  I had to endure MULTIPLE penicillin shots in the butt for WEEKS!  I felt like a pin cushion, and can almost remember that pain.  Sorry!

Might you get a visiting nurse to give you the shot?

I just read about pseudonomas and it makes you never want to go in to a hospital.  Main thing is getting rid of it!  I hate shots, so this wouldn't be fun for me either.

I did research after I got home and found that Manuka honey contains a natural antibiotic  (methylglyoxal) that  causes the cells to explode and prevents the bacteria from forming colonies and I ordered a pound of it the same day.

Awww Dale.  Hope somebody you love is there to spread the honey on your butt!  But watch out for them honey bees!  They might get jealous.

@JonesCarpeDiem Whoa. That is really a bummer. Nasty little bugs. Sorry you have to go through that. Thank heavens they caught it in time. Hoping this is the extent of your troubles in 2023.

Dale, I will pray for your speedy recovery.

Happy New Year.❣️

Manuka is really good. check out oregano oil too.

About the Author
Hello, My name is Dale. I was quit 18 months before joining this site and had participated on another site during that time. I learned a lot there and brought it with me. I joined this site the first week of August 2008. I didn't pressure myself to quit. HOW I QUIT I didn't count, I didn't deny myself to get started. When I considered quitting (at a friends request to influence his brother to quit), I simply told myself to wait a little longer. No denial, nothing painful. After 4 weeks I was down to 5 cigarettes from a pack a day. The strength came from proving to myself, I didn't need to smoke because I normally would have smoked. Simple yes? I bought the patch. I forgot to put one on on the 4th day. I needed it the next day but the following week I forgot two days in a row I put one in my wallet with a promise to myself that I would slap it on and wait an hour rather than smoke. It rode in my wallet my first year.There's nothing keeping any of you from doing this. It doesn't cost a dime. This is about unlearning something you've done for a long time. The nicotine isn't the hard part. Disconnecting from the psychological pull, the memories and connected emotions is. :-) Time is the healer.
