I was asked to conduct the funeral service for my best BIL Saturday then that night, I came down with the worst case of gout in the history of man. I was physically unable to to get to the car for my wife to take me to the emergency room. Worst pain I've ever experienced. Oxycodone didn't even faze it. Been on crutches ever since. Wife was going to drive me to doc this morning but we got a call at 1:30 am and my son and DIL have contracted a stomach bug and had no one to care for the grand babies. Now I have to try to drive 25 miles with a foot the size of a small pumpkin.
Nevertheless life is still good.
Buckrub, wherever you are you have my sympathy
My doc may not realize it yet but I'm coming home with a xanthine inhibitor
