— “Hope all goes well at the BobHouse this eve!”
It’s been a quiet evening, but the morning was “interesting”.
You know what that means!
A visit to the Hospital this morning for my daughter, Teen2. A very painful foot has been diagnosed as possibly gout.
Gout? Hmm.
I’m older than I thought, to have a child suffering from gout.
Well, we’ll medicate, and diet-watch, and I think everything will be fine.
Afterwards we went to a late breakfast, and it’s all cool now.
I’m just still bemused.
Finally filled out our ballots. LoM will deliver tomorrow.
Know almost nothing about gout, but really sorry to hear Teen2 might have it.
Just hoping this cough I have, which often ends with a verbal "whoop" to keep it from degenerating into something (instantly) worse is not whooping cough.
True, true. T’wll be painful.
But ya gotta admit, on a scale of teenage problems from mono to mumps to a broken elbow to getting braces or acne or growing pains, getting a case of “gout” has got to rank up there in terms of “cool factor” that can’t be beat by anything else.
My son suffers from gout. “Rich man’s disease,” it’s called. It often keeps him off work.
Hopefully, Teen2 will learn how to keep it under control. And it IS painful!! Some folks are prone to it for some reason.
