Same thing goes for stitches itching (after Doc says OK) as goes for Chicken-Pox Baking-Soda Bath or Calamine lotion.

Worked for me and 2 hernia surgeries.

Thanks for the ping!!

This Memorial Day as every day in my life, I thank God for the great men and women of the US Armed Forces! Those that have laid down their lives for me and my family are in my prayers daily.

We’ll spend the weekend between memorial services and baseball tournies. May God continue to bless America.

Thanks to all of you in the Canteen.

You are so welcome!
I know how hard these rides can be.
I have never made it through a single one, without tears.
I too, work in a Nursing home, and get very attached to my patients.
We’re kindred spirits!
