Morning. Sorry for your loss GW.

Snowed again last night. Will this ever end.

Thanks brother! It was tragic from the standpoint that despite his gifts, at mid-fifties he had yet to find his way and died an alcoholic drug addict living off welfare while camped in his mother's driveway in a camp trailer that she borrowed money from another family member to buy him. He had already burned his bridges living with other family members, including us, so that was his last stand.

I wish the best for both him and society and though saddened, besides his mother and my wife, I know of no one else shedding tears and he is graciously no longer in anguish or pain himself. Ohmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

Sorry for your Loss Brother

In my vaunted medical opinion, a cortisone shot will do no more than ease the problem for awhile. The real -- permanent -- fix is a really simple and quick minor surgery:

See the slight bulge just before the tendon goes into that rubber band? That's the lockup. One cut, two stitches and it is cured forever.

Yeah, the surgeon mentioned that as the next step if the cortisones don't work, which he said statistically do work more than half the time.

RIP.. That effin alcohol ,what a devil. I don't drink , I would visit a brother who owned a bar. Because he worked it was the best way to see him . As a guy who did not drink and spending hours with him and his brother the chef. I made a observation .It seemed if most of the folks I knew( all friends at this point ) lives would be much better if they did not drink But that was their devil ,not mine . I would walk into the bar/restaurant say hi go right into the kitchen and come out with a plate of food quicker than you could make a drink. I was their friend .electrician/plumber / consulari so I ate and drank for free. That was my devil. I have high blood pressure ,got to watch out be so i don't become diabetic, should not have smoked cigarettes ( quit) cigars ( still do) small fields of weed. Its hard to deal with your own devils, much less have any control on some one else's devil . It helps to believe..

Thank ya'll for the good thoughts and commiseration. It is always sad to see talented young people lose their way and waste their gifts, talents, and lives on addictions, but the good news is that he is at peace and no longer struggling to maintain.
