I was called and told the next day that it was an
April joke. And that after spending $ 125,000 already.
I guess I’m not lucky when it comes to money. Now
for the next 24 years I will be paying off the $
125,000 plus interest. By that time I be 100 and if they
try to get money out of me after that I go on TV. to
make a money appeal.<br
wiseguy…a sigar to you.!!!!<br
not the best day to wake up to. Will try again next
year, unless I be playing piano up there.!!! Not down
there for sure since heat is not good for the piano at
all.!!! And the piano player has to go where the piano
goes. Such is life.!!!<br

Sorry to hear about your brother, Taty. Will keep
him in my thoughts and prayers. <br
question of having children as a diabetic- one reason I
only have one child is diabetes- gestational diabetes.
I was in my early 30’s when I got pregnant for the
first time and developed diabetes. I was a nervous Mom
to be, anyway, and having the high sugars made it a
million times worse. I was scared to death- not for me,
but for the baby. They weren’t too hot at controlling
these things back then and there was a very real chance
that there could be some big time problems with the
baby. After Amanda was safely born- although she was
fairly large- I decided not to risk it again. There were
other considerations and I did have the one child, but
diabetes did play into my decision. I wasn’t worried she

foot first and then when it would not heal they moved
up to just below the knee. I would be more than glad
to communicate with your brother as to what he can
expect to happen. Unfortunately this is something most
doctors don’t deal with. They prefer to just leave you on
your own to deal with the situation. There are support
groups, clubs on the internet, and associations out there
that will all play a part in helping him.<br

Sorry about your brother Taty. Todays thinking
about the doctors is that the cutting has to be in a
way to make more sure that it doesn’t have to been
done soon again. Cutting too little often has caused a
recurrence of amputation and now they will cut roomier. So
in a way it saves an other amputation in the future
and maybe none at all. Give him our best when you
talk to him. It may be good for him to join us on here
when he can.<br

The “Western medicine” described yesterday, as
barbaric as it sounds, was not some slapdash approach
concocted by one sadistic doctor. It was part of a
“kill-or-cure Frankish system known in time as Heroic
medicine,” according to FLOWERS IN THE BLOOD by Dean Latimer
and Jeff Goldberg.<br
rooted in the notion that the way to exorcise one set of
afflictions from a patient’s body was to subject it to a
considerably more violent set of afflictions. The heroics were
entirely on the part of the patient: for even the mildest
ailments, one could expect to be bled, leeched, cupped,
blistered, amputated, sweated, trepanned, scourged, purged
and flayed to a fare-thee-well…… In most cases,
it was useless, of course, and downright lethal in
many, yet its tenets remained broadly accepted for

In times of sickness, crusaders would often first
pray to a saint’s toenail or some other body part to
get well. Relics were a prime cure-all, and each
saint had his or her specialty; Saint Blaise for bones
stuck in the throat; Saint Agatha to soothe sore
breasts.<br
