Cripple in the Boat

In fact, after I had the lung virus in 2012 and fainted at work, they checked me every day and would send me home a few times a month. The quality of the employer is key to a lot of issues.

Definitely this is true, your work situation makes a difference. The doctor who did surgery on my leg when I was 12 said I would have trouble with it when I was older, he was right. The scarring is too heavy DMSO helps but there's only so much you can use, it makes the keloid tissue scars more pliable and reduces inflammation 

The last time I worked full-time for 10 days straight the pain was over the top, I'd get home each day at 8 pm and soak my feet and lower left leg in ice water and then rub DMSO cream over my scars. It would feel so much better I'd fall asleep from relief for a few hours wake up grab a bite go back to sleep till 4:30 am get up get ready and head back to work by 5:00-5:15. 

That was from right before COVID; I miss those times, even with the pain.
